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!
