The tomatoes are starting to come in! That means it’s time for a Simple Sliced Tomato Onion Salad, right? There’s nothing like a good, home-grown tomato, is there? John Denver even sang a song about them because they are so amazing! This salad is topped with a simple vinaigrette (recipe included).

Look at these amazing home-grown tomatoes, shown with a couple limes and a lemon. We don’t refrigerate our tomatoes. They taste so much better at room temperature.
The flavor of this salad is enhanced when you let it rest a little after dressing it. Lois thinks the salad is best at room temperature, but it’s also terrific after refrigerating it. And it holds up well, so you can save the leftovers in the refrigerator for a meal the second day—that is, if it isn’t gobbled up during the first serving!
What You Need
You’ll need a good Tomato Knife to slice the tomatoes real thin, but no other special tools are required. The key for the tomato knife is a good serrated edge. And a lovely platter or plate is essential for serving.
