This salad is about flavor, color and texture. It’s pretty! When done correctly it is a work of art on a plate. It's one of my favorite recipes that orginated in my own kitchen, using fresh tomatoes from my garden. Read more If you don't have access to homegrown tomatoes, change recipe to use what you have available to you. It's still good! Good dish for taking to a gathering. Serves 6-8 Use My Basic Dressing for Tomato Salad dressing which is on this site. May want to double dressing recipe. See less
