Finally Someone Knows Greatness !! Never add vinegar to tomatoes. My family has done this forever and we squeeze the toms first to release the juices then add the rest of ingredients...let it set like you said then get your crusty bread and dip in the juices aka zuccole....Yummm

Perfect for those delicious summer garden tomatoes and sweet vidalias! I have made this salad multiple times now adding only a touch of vinegar as we do like our tomato salads with a bit of a tangy bite. Thanks, Little Bee, for another wonderful recipe!

This is gorgeous. I don't like the taste of vinegar and tomatoes so this was a treat. I had loads of parsley and basil so I chopped some into the mix with some chives as well as the onion to give it all extra colour. It was very very nice. We are on the Atkins diet and it is Atkins friendly and delicious.

Loved it. The tomatoes are excellent here right now, and this was another great way to dress them up. (I used Vidalia onion too.) Nice summer dish--thanks for posting!

After reading Toni's review, I decreased the amount of onion and added a little more basil (about 6 leaves). Wonderful and just right for a spaghetti dinner. Thanks

Yes! I have too many tomatoes also. I have canned some, dried some, made salsa (canned some of that too), and no one wants any more tomatoes from me. This is a great recipe, it is tasty, easy, and it keeps the tomatoes fresh in the frig. If several days go by, I can always make some more salsa from this batch. I also cut back on the onions. Thanks for such a winner!

It was good but too much onion, next I will use half of onions, otherwise very refreshing salad.

I agree with another reviewer about adding vinegar to tomatoes--I'm still not sure what it is about the combination I don't like. This recipe bypasses that problem, and it's easy enough to just "eyeball" measurements when adding ingredients to the tomatoes.

A refreshing salad. Next time I may try grapeseed oil because it has a lighter flavor than EVOO. Having leftovers for lunch today - thanks!

This was wonderful! I used a little less olive oil and added just a couple dashes of balsamic vinegar as a personal preference. Thanks for sharing!
