Easy marinated tomato salad with fresh herbs
If you are looking for a flavourful tomato salad that is not an usual caprese salad with basil and mozzarella I absolutely recommend this versatile marinated tomato salad. What do I mean by the versatile? Well, the seasoning added to the tomatoes makes them rich in flavor but at the same time it can be easily customized to your preferences. You can create your own favorite tomato salad by adding chopped boiled potato, beans, green beans, cucumber pieces, sun-dried tomatoes, tuna, avocado, or anything else that comes to your mind. This salad is also great on its own with no other dressing added. It can serve as a fresh and tasty side dish during summer barbecues or family celebrations.
