I do a version of this with avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Delicious!
So fresh and tasty! Love heirloom tomatoes.
I’m all for simple and delicious Pam! I’ve been on an avocado kick lately. For some reason it just never occurred to me to include it in a tomato salad. Yours looks so refreshing! I must try it with the last of the tomatoes:)

Looks like a very refreshing salad. I wish I could get heirloom tomatoes where I live but they are not easy to find here.

Heirloom tomatoes are definitely the best.
