This is my ideal summer salad.
I live in New England and if I want delicious tomatoes I usually have to wait until it’s tomato season, which is now. Sure you can buy tomatoes in November but they may not look or taste as good as the ones on this plate.
My husband loves to make tomato sandwiches or tomato and cucumber salad and I love to make tomato salads like this one.
I love all the vibrant colors from the variety of tomatoes. Red, purple, yellow. None of those flavorless spongy pink ones here. This salad is all about the tomatoes so I kept it simple and didn’t add much to it. You don’t need much when the tomatoes are delicious. I added some of my favorite fresh herbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little fresh mozzarella cheese. The cheese isn’t necessary, but cheese is delicious so it kind of is. 😉
