Tomato Summer Salad

Submitted by Burns

"I decided to lose the lettuce for this salad. So naturally I promoted the next ingredient to the position of "filler" Lets be honest lettuce is there to stretch a recipe out...anyway, after making this one a few more times I changed it up and perfected to the one I have presented today. I like simple and quick, feel free to change up the amounts of any ingredient to suit your taste, I've never made it the same twice. This is called a Summer Salad because I make it in summer when the tomatoes I get actually have flavor. this recipe is all about the tomato. Enjoy!"
