Chef's notes
Because we’re only using a handful of ingredients here, the quality of each one counts. First and foremost, you should use the best tomatoes you can find. If you’re a gardener, throw in a homegrown tomato or two! Otherwise, look for heirloom tomatoes at your local farmers market or grocery store.
If you happen to have a nice bottle of olive oil or vinegar handy, now’s the time to break it out! You’ll really taste it in this fresh tomato salad.
Variations:
Switch the herbs, add something creamy like mozzarella or avocado, up the crunch with nuts or cucumber, or use different vinegar like balsamic.
