My Mom was in town to help me out with the boys while Kyle was out back during spring recruiting. I knew that our meals were going to be AMAZING and that added to my happiness that she was down here. She and I literally and I mean literally licked our plates after eating this salad. It is so good, so easy and SO fast to eat. The key with this salad is to make sure that you use heirloom tomatoes. Eating this salad is like tasting Spring and Summer!
