Incredible Edible Tomato 🦸‍♀️

ToMAte, KaMAtis, Pomodoro, ToMaYto, ToMaHto.

Here's our 1st take, of many many yummy-more!


πŸ… INCREDIBLE EDIBLE
Ripe red, crisp, and juicy.
Dress it up, salt-peppah, or'gano, rosemary,
Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Tangy! 
It chills in the fridge, you chill on the couch.
Tick-tock easy-peasy. In a bit, it's gobble-ready πŸ…

If you get a kick out of sour vinegar, this ensalada is something to try.

πŸ… Ingredients 
3 ripe tomatoes
rosemary
vinegar
olive oil

πŸ… Steps
slice the tomatoes to about 1/2 inch thick rounds.
add a dash of salt and let it sit for a few minutes.
drain the juice.

Pretty sure a bunch of us grew up considering it one of the greens. But one fine day, my grade-school daughter corrected me -- it is apparently a FRUIT. Botany-wise, strictly speaking, it is a fruit.

A botanical fruit would have at least one seed and grow from the flower of the plant. With this definition in mind, tomatoes are classified as fruit because they contain seeds and grow from the flower of the tomato plant.

So, is it a fruit?  Is it a vegetable? We will not delve into that, no, no. However way its called, whatever its "horti-culture", 1 thing's certain, it is an incredible edible! 🦸‍♀️
