This was a perfect choice for my fresh garden tomatoes. I sprinkled the cut tomatoes with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper then drizzled with the lime juice. The lime juice added a wonderful dressing for the fresh tomatoes. Something I will make again.

I forgot how wonderful a simple dressing of lime juice, plus salt and pepper, can be. This was a perfect salad for my lunch today. Thoroughly enjoyed and most likely on the menu again tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Simple and delicious-I scaled this (roughly) back to two tomatoes which the two of us ate as a side.

This is very light and yet the lime gives it lots of flavor. The only change I made was I thin sliced my onions (they hold onto a fork better). Thanks for a nice light and refreshing salad.
