Recipe Tips
We have several varieties of tomatoes growing in our garden and I used them all for this salad. Use any tomatoes that you have on hand. You can also add in chopped sweet peppers or even jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Add fresh herbs like basil, rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.
If you are chopping lots of vegetables for salads or soups, this veggie chopper is going to be you new best friend! I use it almost every day and it’s such a time saver.

This was a wonderful topping for grilled sablefish. My only comment would be to decrease the amount of sugar. It calls for 1/3 cup, which seemed like way too much. I used about 1 tbsp and it added plenty of sweetness.
Hi Susan,
I am so glad you enjoyed it. We tend to like things sweet, thanks for the feedback on using less sugar.
