    This is a beautiful summertime salad that I would highly recommend. I used fresh basil, thyme and parsley and would recommend that others do as well. Also used heirloom tomatoes. I will cut down on the oil and red wine vinegar; the salad is so tasty and fresh, it doesn't need too much dressing (in my humble opinion). I'd use 1/2 the recommended olive oil and vinegar in the dressing!. Will definitely make again.
