Salad of Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Mint
I use Early Girl tomatoes because they are both intensely sweet and acidic. Dry farmed tomatoes are dryer and have a more intense flavor and firmer texture. Only Early Girls (or a similar varietal) and cherry tomatoes appear to grow in a dry farmed environment. Vegetables or fruits which are dry farmed are not given water after being planted.
