Tomato Salad with Feta and Olives image

The best time to make this is when the tomatoes are in season. If you love tomatoes, you will love this salad, as did my guests. This is not a complicated salad and you would think it came from a gourmet restaurant. I found this gem of a recipe in the Fine Cooking Magazine.
