Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the quality of your tomatoes, the better your salad will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no bruises or blemishes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes. For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing and flavors more easily.

- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and mint, can add a lot of flavor to this salad. Add them just before serving.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then adjust the flavors with a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
