    Bon appetit!

The salad is light and fragrant, it can be served as an independent dish, as an appetizer, and as a side dish, for example, to a delicious meat steak or to tender baked fish. It will perfectly complement their taste!
For more freshness, supplement the dish with chopped fresh herbs: basil is perfect, but cilantro and dill will also be very appropriate. Or maybe you decide to add mint or thyme, you will also get a very interesting and original taste!

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.
