    This is one of my summer favorites. Great for BBQs or parties. Instead of making as a salad, I like to use a variety grape tomatoes and put them on kabob skewers. The dressing is just as the recipe calls for. Place the skewers on a platter and top with the dressing. Great party food!!

    This is such a delicious salad. We made it just like the recipe except I only had red tomatoes in different sizes. I have made this twice this week because my family loved this recipe. We gobbled up the tomatoes. Thanks Jamie!

    Great Recipe!!
    I made a few changes:
    I too did equal parts balsamic vinegar to olive oil
    and I added blue cheese crumbles. This was very good!

    Too much oil, it was the only thing I could taste. It just drowned out my beautiful fresh garden tomatoes and all the fresh herbs. I think equal parts vinegar and oil would work much better.

    i made this 3 times last summer. it's very easy, and the results are amazing.

    get the tomatoes at a farmer's market. just look for local heirloom tomatoes. organic certification costs a lot of money and will put many farmer's market sellers out of business, so don't worry about organic. talk to the seller and she or he will tell you if they use pesticides (almost all will not.

    better yet, get heirloom seeds and grown several varieties yourself. it's easier than you might think!

    I have made this recipe a number of times since seeing the episode on the Food Network. It is so delicious and easy to make that it is now a staple on our summer entertaining menu, with lots of yummy leftovers to make into a pasta salad the next day. Everyone is impressed with this salad and it is beautiful to on the table as well. We belong to a CSA and this is a great way to use all the amazing tomatoes we end up with at the end of tomato season.
