Today, after I pick up my daughter from camp, I am planning on heading further into the farm (her camp is located at the lovely Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett, NY) to pick some tomatoes. Because there is nothing like a freshly plucked tomato, still warm from the sun. The littlest ones taste like slightly melted candy.

For the most part, we just eat them raw out of the box, but sometimes one wants to be slightly more civilized and perhaps cut them in half and add them to a salad. Perhaps this salad also contains fresh corn and basil and mozzarella and is dressed with a white balsamic vinaigrette.

Who knows?

The particulars of the salad contents notwithstanding, one needs to slice those tomatoes and do it quickly (before they all get eaten up!) Enter this brilliant hack for slicing cherry tomatoes from the wise ones at Food52.

Don’t say I never hooked you up…
