Those first precious red globes of summer are making their ways from backyard vines onto kitchen cutting boards.
For those not fortunate enough to have their own, local growers are more than happy to serve them up at local stands and supermarkets.
Wegmans is celebrating them in a big way today and Saturday, offering up locally grown maters as well as free tastings of many dishes that contain them, including
caprese salad, heirloom tomato salad, tomato bruschetta, tomato and hummus naan pizza, roasted tomato basil soup and a European baguette with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, sliced plum tomatoes and lettuce with a pesto mayonnaise.
The meat department will offer a BLT sandwich with beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes and Wegmans applewood-smoked bacon.
Get your fill today from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Here’s Wegmans recipe for the Tomato Hummus Naan Pizza.
P.S. Wegmans will also be serving cake tomorrow at noon, celebrating the Olympic athletes.
