Tomatoes vine-ripened, picked fresh, local and in-season are such a treat, and full of antioxidants and vitamins. There's just no comparison to the tomatoes that we get at the grocery stores during the winter! A couple of my favourite ways to eat cashew cheese are on toast with Creamy Swiss cashew cheese and in this fresh tomato salad recipe!
