This is the meal I make when I walk in the door at dinner time, I’m hungry, and the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven or the stove. I want my meal ready quickly, and I just want to put my feet up. Anyone else have those kinds of nights? I’ll make this salad year-round, but it’s definitely best when tomatoes are at their peak of flavor in the summertime. And, I typically have all of these ingredients on hand, so it’s not something I need to plan ahead to make — this salad is one of those recipes I can make on autopilot.
Serve it as the main dish, or it can easily be served as a side for six people. It’s especially tasty with grilled chicken sandwiches! While this delicious salad is made without lettuce, feel free to spoon it over a bed of fresh romaine or a spring lettuce mix for a more traditional “salad” meal. Lastly, for those who must have meat with their meal, these flavors go well with chicken or shrimp. Just add your protein on top!

If you don’t chop as quickly as I do, this may take you … seven minutes?! No matter your chopping speed, it’s a great meal that also keeps well for next-day lunch leftovers.
