A Really Good Tomato Salad

If you're swimming in tomatoes I've got just the recipe for you. This tomato salad is simple, versatile and so satisfying with all of those late summer tomatoes. It hits the spot on a hot summer day and goes well with just about anything you're serving. Grilled fish, meat, or simply eaten on its own with some crusty bread for dunking. We've made this a couple of different times and one of my favorites was as an appetizer with grilled bread that I just spooned the tomato salad over.  However, for simplicity, when you're making a "true" meal I think this tastes best served alongside a grilled steak or cod fillet. This salad really lets the fresh summer tomatoes shine and I hope you all love this as much as we do. Cheers to the summer bounty!
