Nonna's Garden-Fresh Itallian Pomarola (Tomato) and Mozzarella Salad
Poppy always had fresh pomarole, aka tomatoes, around from his garden, and Nonna always found some recipe to put them in. The taste of fresh pomarola is nothing like the ones in the supermarket. Red, ripe, and juicy. And the taste? Oh my gosh, oh so sweet!
When I was a little girl I loved them so much I would sneak into the garden and eat them right from the vine. That sweet, beautiful, fresh taste. No supermarket can recreate that! Dip some fresh-baked sourdough into the juice and taste a piece of heaven!! Perfect meal for a hot summer night.
No moz or dairy free? No problem! Just don't use it. It's just as tasty without it.
