Tomato Girl Summer Meets Americana: A Fourth of July Dream

the best summer trend of all time

If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok or Instagram this year, you’ve probably seen the rise of the Tomato Girl aesthetic. Think linen dresses fluttering in a salty breeze, straw baskets overflowing with heirloom tomatoes, messy buns tied with silk scarves, and a glass of chilled rosé (N/A for me!) in hand. It’s romantic, relaxed, and just a little bit retro.

Tomato Girl Summer, by name and nature, starts with food. July is peak tomato season! Menu ideas to bring to your summer festivities.

Easy, no-fuss recipes that travel well:

• Heirloom tomato salad with burrata and basil oil

• Tomato and watermelon with feta, mint, and olive oil

• Sourdough with whipped ricotta and roasted cherry tomatoes

• Olive oil potato chips with tomato aioli

• A chilled sparkling water or non-alcoholic canned drink to top it off

It’s casual, but intentional. Serve with charming plates and linen napkins!
