I’ve gotten tons of messages from you all saying your gardens are overflowing with fresh tomatoes this summer, so if you’re looking for more ways to use them besides your go-to caprese salad (YUM) you’ve come to the right place.

I put together over 30 fresh tomato recipes that are truly the perfect way to use up that gorgeous fruit for the rest of the season. You’ll find everything from veggie-packed quiches and salads to fun appetizers and hearty main dishes. There’s truly a recipe using fresh tomatoes for every meal!

Fall in love with fresh summer tomatoes

If you don’t already have a garden full of fresh tomatoes, get to the store or farmer’s market ASAP to stock up on these beautiful fruits. Whether you’ve got roma tomatoes, grape or cherry tomatoes, or big, juicy heirloom tomatoes on hand, I’ve got the perfect summer recipe for you to make. I love adding fresh tomatoes to all types of recipes in the summer because:

• They’re a great source of antioxidants, potassium, and vitamins like vitamin C and K
• They add the perfect sweet, juicy bites to balance out savory or salty dishes
• And they’re SO versatile — you can use them in a recipe or as a topping!

What about canned tomatoes?

I didn’t forget about the canned ones! Head to this roundup to see all of my recipes that use canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones.

I’ve categorized the below fresh tomato recipes into breakfasts, apps & sides, salads, pasta salads, sandwiches & wraps, soups & chilis, and main dishes. Tomato lover or not you’re guaranteed to find a new, delicious summer recipe to try in this list.
