Farm Fresh Recipes — Cherry tomato

This is a true Ottawa Farm Fresh recipe, inspired when Jolianne found a plethora of cooked tempeh in the fridge. Jolianne loves making a big batch of tempeh and then adds it to salads, and it pairs really well with cucumber.

This recipe for Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad comes to us from Désirée who works in the Farm Store. She absolutely loves tomatoes and has since childhood. This salad is nice and cooling on a hot day and can easily be made in smaller or larger quantities.

This recipe is as simple as it is delicious. Just toss everything in a pan and roast until warm, soft and gooey. Serve with bread or crackers as an appetizer, or spoon on top of pasta for a decadent sauce.

Fresh salsa is a world away from jarred salsa from the grocery store. The flavours are fresh and bright, and when you make it yourself you can modify it to suit your taste - add more or less cilantro, swap the lemon juice for lime, or add fresh or dried hot peppers to taste.
