Tomato Day

As the summer comes to a close, we're still having a great time at the market!

You could find tomatoes all around the market on Tomato Day - from heirloom to organic.
Chef Caren was on the scene preparing 2 tomato dishes for customers to taste. Below is a recipe for an incredible tomato sandwich.

Crispy Pancetta, Mozzarella and Tomato Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients
12 thin slices pancetta (bacon)
6 1/2 inch slices of tomatoes
1/2 cup torn basil leaves
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp sea salt
6 slices brioche lightly toasted
6 slices mozzarella cheese
4 cups spring mix or baby arugula
