I really loved this salad. I used organic red and yellow heirloom tomatoes and was pleased with the result. I can only imagine how terrific this will taste with fresh homegrown summer tomatoes! I made this exactly as written. I found it difficult to "stack" this easily, so I sort of overlapped the sliced tomatoes, with the salad mixture between them. Thanks for posting!1Reply
