Marinated Tomato Salad Recipe
Happy 4th of July!!! I was looking through my recipes and this one popped out at me, so I decided to post it for the 4th. Its a delicious addition to any barbecue. It can be made ahead and then taken to any gathering. You don’t have to worry about mayonnaise spoiling with this salad since it is made with oil and vinegar.
What’s also great about this salad is you combine all different types of tomatoes.. its colorful and tasty! You can top the salad with fresh herbs, but its not necessary.
