Here is my first attempt at making a tomato salad, and to be completely honest, I came out delicious! Fresh picked tomatoes from my garden, which I peeled, Feta cheese, Kalamata olives, olive oil, salt & pepper, OH SO good! The only thing missing from this first attempt was red onion but I've addressed that in the subsequent salads I've made.
Growing up my mother would make a tomato salad. Of course back then I wouldn't eat tomatoes or any vegetable for that matter except corn. Back then the fight was for the tomato salad juices or what we would call "buta buta", which I believe is a Greek thing. Taking fresh bread and dipping it in the juices was so so good!
It's not my mothers tomato salad but regardless, it brought back some wonderful memories. I sure do miss those times, my mom's cooking and of course my mom :-(
