My favorite hostess gift lately is a bowl full of heirloom tomatoes. They are the epitome of late summer and just beg for a simple, no-cook preparation – just what a busy hostess looks forward to the day after entertaining.
Are you entertaining soon? Since summer isn’t the time for stuffy sit-down dinner parties, a potluck can be the perfect solution. I challenged some of my favorite bloggers from across the country to share what dish they would bring to an heirloom tomato potluck, and the results are delicious.
