HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND FETA SALAD
This is a fresh, flavorful salad with heirloom tomatoes. Even my non tomato-eating husband likes this recipe. We went out to dinner for tapas one night and they had a similar salad. I came home and recreated it with my own twist. We loved it, I hope you do too. I'm sure this will work with regular tomatoes too.
