This salad benefits from the flavours mingling for a while before serving.
.
Make sure the tomatoes are ripe and stored at room temperature
.
I love to dip fresh sourdough in the juices after eating the salad.
.
Serve as an entrée or as a side to a meal
.
In season ripe tomatoes are so much more flavoursome than forced out of season tomatoes!
.
I like to use Macroom Irish buffalo mozzarella.

This is my quick and easy salad.
