Out here late summer 'maters are really evil!

Lately we have been getting some beauties....Mexican grown-they sneak across the border! - They are meaty, juicy and wonderful inside, but the skin is really tough. Next are the local grown- Cah lee Fuh nee Ah grown- The Las Vegas hot house tomatoes make a showing around September-they are softer skinned-but dense and hard in the middle-they bruise easily but stay solid in the core.

If you get lazy and want a fast salad try the DOLE brand package salad kits.
They have packets of parmesan cheese, croutons and dressing with the greens.

My favorite is the Cesar Salad. I add tomato, onion, shredded cheese and a can of baby clams or mixed seafood.

You could do tuna in water, canned shrimp or canned chicken.
