ASIAN TOMATO SALAD
This recipe has been slightly tweaked from one by Katsuyo Kobayashi, Japan's favourite TV cooking show host and an Iron Chef winner. It is so easy to make, but to ensure plenty of flavour, use the best quality tomatoes you can get. If possible, make it ahead and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavours blend. This doesn't seem to keep well, so eat it the day you make it.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help the tomatoes absorb the dressing more easily.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint, will add a bright, refreshing flavor to your salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavor of the tomatoes.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The tomatoes will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.
