As summer reaches its peak, we’re leaning into the Tomato Girl aesthetic—a trend we’ve seen unfolding on TikTok that evokes the romance of slow-paced coastal European living. While we’d dare to say we’ve been having a Tomato Girl Summer since we first launched in 2016, we couldn’t resist hopping on the bandwagon—so we enlisted our friend Pia Baroncini to share how she’s capturing the Tomato Girl essence at home in Pasadena, whilst preparing a classic Sicilian tomato salad (recipe below!).

RECIPE

Pia’s Insalata della Nonna

Pia shares her recipe for Insalata della Nonna, the refreshing Sicilian tomato salad she’s been making on the hottest days. She recommends using the best tomatoes you can find (from the farmers’ market, if possible).

INGREDIENTS:

 

-tomatoes

-red onion

-good olive oil (like Baroncini)

-ricotta salata

-oregano

 

METHOD:

 

Measure these ingredients with your heart! Chop your tomatoes, add as much thinly-sliced onion as you care for, and some dried oregano. Toss with olive oil and top with very thin slices of the ricotta salata.
