Functional Foods Highlight

Tomatoes: Tomatoes are classified as a fruit because they contain seeds and grow from flowers.

They are a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium. They are also a major source of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to the reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.

I feel like everyone should have a couple of recipes like this up their sleeve. It's quick and easy but also extremely delicious and beautiful to look at. Trust me when I say, this summertime staple is a serious crowd pleaser. If you haven't tried them yet, Sungold's are beautiful little orange tomatoes that are similar to cherry tomatoes but sweeter. Their sweetness goes perfectly with the red wine vinegar and rich burrata. If you can't find them at your local store or farmers market, cherry tomatoes are a wonderful alternative.

From the Chef:

Tomato tip: Tomatoes should NOT be stored in the fridge. Store your tomatoes at room temperature out of direct sunlight. To keep them fresh longer, keep them in a single layer, stem side up!

From the Doctor:

For people who are sensitive to lectins, opt for a larger tomato variety. This will make it easier to remove the seeds and skin, which contain lectins in tomatoes.
