Fresh Tomato Salad…A just picked from the garden, super simple salad that’s bursting with fresh flavors.
The Optimistic Garden’s Fresh Tomato Salad
Summer is here and all the plants that I started from seedlings are starting to flower. I transplanted some of the older plants, that were already filled with tomatoes in my Aero Garden, into my outside Optimistic Garden. We’re eating vine ripe, super fresh, incredibly flavorful, luscious ripe cherry tomatoes.
Perfect for..
A simple salad
This salad is my Dear Daughter in Law’s and Sharyn’s (family by choice) favorite. I actually try to make it every week because they love it so much.

It’s so simple but so fresh!
It’s just about the easiest salad I’ve ever made in my entire life.
Sometimes you need to take it easy
I’m going to make this one short and sweet.
It’s the season for ripe, delicious, home grown or farmer grown cherry or grape tomatoes. You can even get the multi-colored ones.
I use vegan parmesan for this recipe so I can serve it with my meat meals. I rarely have any left over.

Fresh Tomato Salad… Just three main ingredients. Fresh. Flavorful. Seasonal. Delicious!
Here’s the recipe
I can’t say anything else. Try it. You’ll like it.
