I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The tomatoes were too sour and the beans were undercooked.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used a little more seasoning.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra tomatoes at the end of the summer, and this is a great way to use them up.
