This is a simple recipe, but it is delicious and pretty! I had yellow, orange and red tomatoes for the salad, so it looked nice and colorful when it was done. My daughter who hates tomatoes says that they were edible when served this way.

Nothing beats the taste of tomatoes fresh from the garden!
I agree with you, your pic is great. There is something about those "Italian" type salads that kids like…they will eat my panzanella, but won't eat a tomatoe! Joni
Followed your link from Balancing beauty and bedlam. Your salad looks great!
This is the best salad when using super fresh and sweet tomatoes!!!
