At Houweling’s, we‘re a little tomato crazy. We love growing them, nurturing them and most of all eating great tasting tomatoes! This passion led us to work with a fabulous chef who created Houweling’s Signature Recipes, showcasing the flavors of our various tomatoes and hopefully inspiring you to create your own!
That is exactly what happened with our friend Colynn (@VeganColynn). She loves tomatoes maybe as much as we do and always shares great recipes on her blog. Recently she posted an awesome #MeatlessMonday recipe for a Tomato Basil Salad with Vegan Mozzarella Crumble, which inspired us to create a new set of recipes submitted by our friends and fans! We’d like to thank Colynn for letting us share her recipe in this space and encourage you all to send us your favourites via Twitter (@Houwelings_ / #SignatureRecipes), Facebook and email – info@houwelings.com
