❤️About This Recipe

I love this recipe because it has all the features I love in a salad. Simplicity can be divine in salad creation and this one has that.

First, fresh tomatoes, then mild onions or chives, and thirdly, a lovely blend of herbs parsley, and a little basil.

Then an easy salad dressing of red wine vinegar or lemon juice mixed with olive oil and a little salt and pepper.

Just, add this little salad to your family table as a side dish for your everyday meals, a quick and healthy addition for everyone.

Or a brilliant shock of color to an hors d'euvres table or buffet.

Also, it is a good way to eat up these beautiful fruits when they are in season and you can buy them cheaply or your tomato plants are heavy with bounty.
