Tomatoes are one of my favorite summer foods, and this herb-packed salad lives up to its name because it tastes like summer! The recipe that inspired this dish suggested using one of the herbs, but I prefer to use all four: basil, cilantro, dill, and parsley. It’s very tasty!

Summer Tomato Salad Ingredients

• 1 small or 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 pounds of on-the-vine tomatoes 
• ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs: basil, cilantro, dill, and parsley
