Notes

  • Nutrition note: My version comes to around 350 calories for all three flights, but exact nutrition will vary depending on your ingredients and portions. Be sure to calculate based on the specific brands and amounts you use. Use the app 'lose it" to scan the ingredients if needed. 
  • Create a board: Feeding a crowd? Create a tomato flight board! Think charcuterie, but for tomatoes. Place your sliced tomatoes on a platter, and add a variety of toppings to a separate board so your guests can create their own flights!
  • Vegan substitutions: Create a vegan version with your favorite vegan cheeses and replace the meats with hearty ingredients like avocado or tofu. 
  • Greens: Top with microgreens, fresh herbs, or arugula for added nourishment.
  • Mini flights: Create mini, bite-sized versions with Campari tomatoes! 
  • Finishing touches: Drizzle your creations with your favorite infused olive oil, vinaigrette, chili oil, or hot honey.
  • Room temp = max flavor: Let your heirloom tomatoes sit out for 30 minutes before slicing. Cold tomatoes taste dull, but room-temp tomatoes bring out all that juicy, sweet summer flavor.
