Delicious way to prepare tomatoes. We used fresh ripe tomatoes from the farmers market and a garlic and herb goat cheese. It was hard to stop eating it. The cheese is soft and creates a sort of sauce with the tomato juices so it isn't pretty but don't let that stop you.

I made this for a 4th of July party and everyone loved it! They all wanted the recipe.

This salad is gorgeous and delicious! I used home-grown tomatoes (well, my brother grew them anyway!) which just made it that much better I'm sure. I devoured this on its own (and on my own!) Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
