I've seen so many lovely recipes here re tomatoes - from roasted, to fresh tomato sauce. A few of my other favorite ways to prepare/serve tomatoes are tomato salads, stuffed tomatoes, and using the tomatoes to hold dips, seafood salad, cottage cheese, couscous, etc.
Here are some ideas for Tomatoes and Tomato salads:
Grilled asparagus (with lemon juice/zest), served surrounded with sliced or roasted tomatoes, toasted pine nuts (opt), on butter lettuce on a platter, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.
Green beans (or haricot verts), cherry tomatoes, cubes of mozzarella or feta, drizzle with balsamic or Italian dressing.
Grilled tomato salad - grill tomatoes & asparagus, add sliced red onions, sliced mushrooms, slivers of garlic, black olives & Parmesan.
Romas - slice thinly (not all the way to the bottom of the tomato), place thin slices of mozzarella between the tomato slices, sprinkle with diced red onions, insert basil leaves between the slices, and drizzle with dressing of choice.
Tomatoes make great containers for dips for parties. Fill the hollowed out tomatoes with a sun-dried tomato, artichoke or seafood/clam dip.
Show me your creative tomato ideas.
