Quick and Easy Tomato Salad
At the end of the summer, juicy and ripe tomatoes make the best Tomato Salad. Pairs well with any protein, especially grilled!
I get a lot of tomatoes in my garden every summer, and this is my all-time favorite way to use those tomatoes up! You just can’t buy juicy tomatoes like the ones from your own garden, they just don’t compare to the ones sold at the supermarket. So juicy. After eating the tomatoes, get a slice of fresh bread and sop up all those delicious juices at the bottom.
Summer is in full swing and sometimes, the only thing keeping us sane on these hot days are cool drinks and fresh salads. Juicy tomatoes are the perfect salad to enjoy at the lunch or dinner table, and it’s best to fill up on the freshest produce on the market – or from your own backyard, if you grow your own tomatoes!
