    I love a simple tomato salad during the summer & this was great. Really only took like maybe 10 minutes to put together. Had it as a side to a steak recipe from this book and it was perfect. Excited to have the leftovers on some crunchy toast tomorrow.

    This was a very good, easy salad, perfect for summer’s fresh tomatoes. Let’s the herbs shine.

    Very easy to put together from stuff in my garden but not that exciting.

    This is a fairly basic salad, but I that’s exactly what makes it such a good pairing with a hearty main dish. The lime is tangy and refreshing and the salad as a whole is really easy to put together.

    So good, the shallot-lime addition is just delicious! Perfect for the last summer tomatoes.

    We loved this dressed up tomato salad! I used heirloom tomatoes as suggested, which made for quite a pretty and scented platter with the torn herbs. The shallots pickled in lime juice were a very, very tasty new addition to an otherwise simple salad. I drizzled blood orange scented olive oil on the salad.
