Tomato Salad

Daniele1969's Note:

This is a very simple salad. My mom would make it as a side dish for omlettes for brunch. I usually serve it with grilled steak or by itself. for those of you who do WW, this is 1 point per serving.

Perfect! I left the cuke seeds in because I like them, and added lots of cracked black pepper. Thank you for the idea--I tend to eat tomatoes and cukes separately. I tried it twice, once using salt first, and the second using it only as a seasoning rather than a leeching ingredient. I prefer the results using it as a topping, where you can still get that crunch. I bet some slivered mint or basil might also taste good. Thanks for a winner!

I'm always amazed when something this easy to make tastes so incredibly delicious. This was a great way to use our tomatoes from our garden.Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe!

I started taking this to work for lunch every day this summer since I have an abundance of fresh tomatoes from my garden. I add lots of cracked black pepper because I love it with tomatoes! Lite and healthy! Thanks :)
