Making this tomato salad recipe is so easy and such a great way to use up your fresh garden tomatoes.
You can turn this into a Cherry Tomato Salad by substituting halved cherry tomatoes for the regular ones.
Then there are all the varieties of tomatoes at the market today. There are so many different colours and types. Use this simple and easy salad to experiment with the different flavours represented by the many types.
Tomatoes, actually a fruit and not a vegetable, are so nutritious. High in vitamin C, they also contain vitamin A, potassium, and iron. Notable is the high lycopene level. (Lycopene appears to act as an antioxidant that is beneficial for our cells.)
Have too many cherry tomatoes in your garden? Then try an unusual vegetable dish baked squash with tomatoes or just simply baked tomatoes. But first, eat them fresh in this salad!
Nothing really says summer like tomatoes. So healthy, so easy, and so delicious. Enjoy them as often as you can.
