Saladette, or cocktail, tomatoes grow about 2 inches in diameter and are delicious sliced into salads or eaten straight off the vine. These Green Zebra tomatoes are a unique green tomato variety.


4) Saladette tomatoes

Also called Campari or cocktail tomatoes, saladettes are bigger than cherry and grape tomatoes, but smaller than beefsteak varieties. Most are about 2 inches across and weigh between 2 to 4 ounces. They’re perfect sliced in salads or eaten straight off the vine. I also use them in pastas and roast them in the oven. Delicious! 

  • Mountain Magic (66 days)Mountain Magic is a very disease-resistant cocktail variety that produces long trusses of bright red fruits. The 2 inch diameter tomatoes are crack resistant and very flavorful. 

  • Jaune Flamme (75 days) – I first planted this heirloom variety about 20 years ago and fell in love with the productive plants and incredible flavor. The tall vining plants yield a generous crop of sweet-tart golden tomatoes that begins about 2 1/2 months after transplanting. 

  • Red Racer (57 days) – Looking for a small space cocktail tomato? Try Red Racer, an award-winning variety that forms tidy, compact plants. The tomato flavor, however, is big with a nice sweet-acid balance.
