These are super simple to make & the kids love them - I know I did when I was young. Its a lot like fudge, but you get bright colors from the mini marshmallows. Got this recipe from a coworker of my mom's. Haven't made it in years, but thought I'd share it so I don't lose it.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salad will be.
- Choose a variety of colors: Use a mix of red, yellow, and orange tomatoes for a visually appealing salad.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help the tomatoes absorb the dressing and flavors.
- Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or olive oil dressing is best. Avoid using heavy dressings, as they will overpower the delicate flavor of the tomatoes.
- Add some herbs: Fresh basil, oregano, or thyme are all great additions to a tomato salad. Herbs will add a pop of flavor and freshness.
- Serve immediately: Tomato salad is best served fresh. Do not make it ahead of time, as the tomatoes will start to wilt.
