When tomato season hits, it hits hard, and you need to be ready with some recipes to make the most of them.

Yes, you will slice them, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and eat them. But then you will need to figure out what else to do with that explosion of tomatoes from the garden or the market.

Most tomato salsas are made with uncooked tomatoes, and delicious just the way they are, but roasting some of them concentrates the sugars and flavors. And then when the two are combined you get the freshness of the raw tomatoes, and the depth of the cooked ones. Not a bad layering of flavors.

If you prefer to use larger tomatoes, just dice them up — I happened to have relieved a kindly farmer of all of his mini tomatoes at the market.

You need to add very little else to make this salsa amazing –skip the olives if they aren’t your thing. Use any combo of tomatoes that you have available to you.

What to Serve with Roasted Tomato Salsa with Olives:

Fabulous with tortilla chips, pita chips, or piled on bruschetta. Also perfect alongside grilled swordfish, or chicken, or a steak.
