I love to make tomato salad. It is just tomatoes cut into chunks, celery, red onion, and small cubes of cheese mixed with mayo. Sometimes, I add corn or green peas. Add some salt and pepper and it is yummy.

Grilled Tomato with Cheese is nothing less than heavenly; i usually brush both sides of medium/large tomato with olive oil(saute garlic in olive oil) sprinkle with black pepper and top with my favorite cheese...this is a meal that i have any hour of the day...it's just so tasty and filling.

My dad loves eating tomato and butter sandwiches. I don't like tomatoes so I can't weigh in one way or the other, but I guess it's best to try to keep it simple so the flavor comes through.

Pasta of course! I dice the tomatoes I buy from the market (because I can't seem to grown one on my own), then add some tomato paste and sauce. I use tuna as the meat because it's healthier. I also add mushrooms and black olives. Oh, don't forget the basil! It's the perfect Italian pasta!

I melted some cheese between two flour torila shells added some sliced tomatoes and that was dinner, it was good and more filling than I thought it would be.

I love to make a simple middle eastern salad wih tomatoes, cucumbers, white beans and a nice acid dressing. It goes well with almost everything and is super fast and easy to do. My mom doesn't like it that much because she isn't so familiar with eating beans in a salad.

My favorite thing to do with tomatoes is to make fresh salsa. Other than that, I like to boil them down with some herbs and make pasta sauce.

I make pasta, saute some garlic in olive oil, slice up fresh cherry tomatoes, grate some paremesan and throw it all together. Yum! Reminds me of summer! I found some great tomato seed varieties at www.edenbrothers.com and even grew some great heirloom varieties too!

Pizza Margherita! It is simply a raw pizza dough covered with thinly sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, a sprinkling of finely grated Parmesan or Peccorino cheese, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, then baked. As JS85 said, simple is best to let the flavors come through.
I also make a lot of marinara sauce and freeze it for winter use, and can tomatoes, and make dried tomatoes to put in olive oil and use for salads and garnish.

Fried green tomatoes and tomato bruschetta are good. I also like to juice tomatoes along with fruits when the tomatoes are too soft to use in a salad.

We like to broil halved tomatoes, and add a little cheese a couple of minutes before taking them out from under the broiler. Being in an Italian family, I stew as many as I can for red sauces. A good homemade creamy tomato soup is lovely with grilled cheese sandwiches. My husband likes it when I make tomato chutney. My favorite way to eat tomatoes is to just slice them, and put a little salt and pepper on them.
