For the best flavor, use the ripest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find. Heirloom varieties are particularly well-suited for this salad. Don't skimp on the olive oil! A high-quality extra-virgin olive oil is essential for adding richness and depth of flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables to your liking, such as capers or fresh herbs like parsley or mint. For a tangier salad, add a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice. The longer the tomatoes sit, the more flavorful the salad will become. However, be careful not to let it sit for too long, as the vegetables can become soggy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large serving bowl, roughly chop the tomatoes into wedges, allowing their juices to collect in the bowl. (5 minutes)

03
