Grilled Venison with Summer Tomato Salad

Tomatoes are at their peak right now, so take advantage of the season’s bounty. Homegrown or farmer’s market heirloom tomatoes are best for this recipe. Their sweetness is unmatched by anything grown in a greenhouse.

If making this recipe the same day, choose tomatoes that are soft and just about ready to burst—these fruits are at the height of juiciness and flavor. This salad makes a light, cooling side dish to any grilled meat, especially venison.
