My favourite Tomato Salad

A big, juicy tomato salad is a staple everyone should know how to make well! Rather than shaking up a dressing, sprinkle the garlic, eshallots/shallots and salt straight onto the tomato wedges. The flavour sticks better.Use everyday red tomatoes though if you can get them, heirloom tomatoes will add
