This is so good. To make a paste of the ginger and garlic, I used a fine mesh micro-plane. Very easy and very quick. I made the recipe as written and we loved it. Thanks Evelyn for posting.

Simple but really yummy! The ginger sets this apart from other salads of this type. I used the optional sugar. I'll be making this often while my cherry tomato plants are producing. Thanx!

I LOVE tomatoes naked and I wasn't super eager to try this, but my husband thought it might be a nice change. WOW am I glad we tried it. I LOVED the recipe. It's super easy to pull together and the flavours work so well. This will become part of our everyday recipes!
