The best season to delight your family or friends with yummy salads and quick recipes for fresh tomatoes?

Summertime, of course!

In-season and locally-grown tomatoes have double the amount of vitamin C than the tasteless, hothouse-grown ones... you might have already discovered this on the health benefits of tomatoes page.

Do you know where's the highest vitamin C concentration in tomatoes?

It's in the greenish, jelly-like stuff surrounding the seeds and the amount of vitamin C varies depending on the tomatoes' type.

Out of season, choose the vine-ripened ones or preserved tomatoes.

Add them to any vegetable soup, grill them on skewers with other vegetables, or simply toss a healthy salsa in a snap by mixing them with chopped onions and Chili peppers.

For a boost in energy, include fresh tomatoes in any fruit or green salads!
To keep things colorful, use as many colors you can find: yellow, orange, green, red, and purple.

Do You Like Creamy Gazpacho Soup?

To make this very nutritious and refreshing cold soup, which is a famous Spanish dish...

• purée 1 and a half pound fresh tomatoes together with 1 avocado, 2-3 medium cucumbers (or just 1 English cucumber), 1-2 seeded bell pepper(s), 1 medium onion (optional) and 2 garlic cloves in your food processor


• for a more intense flavor mix in 1 tablespoon tomato paste


• add salt and pepper to taste and season with a couple of avocado slices, chopped spring onion or your favourite herbs (basil and cilantro are the best)


• chill until you serve it

Traditionally, gazpacho is mixed with dark bread to give this soup a thicker texture, but it's perfectly okay to skip the bread, which isn't exactly your best friend when you're trying to lose weight ;)
