Assemble everything except herbs; add fresh before serving

🍽️ When to Serve These Golden Gems
🍅 Summer picnics with lemonade
🍷 Backyard BBQs with burgers and dogs
🎉 Potlucks and church suppers
🫶 To someone who says, “I don’t eat salads” —watch them ask for seconds
Because once they taste that tomato-garlic, herb-drenched magic?
They’ll be converted.
❤️ Final Thought: Great Food Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
You don’t need 17 ingredients or a culinary degree to make something magical.
Sometimes, all it takes is:
A few ripe tomatoes
A clove (okay, five) of garlic
And the courage to say: “Today, I’m letting flavor shine.”
And when your partner says, “Did you get this from a Mediterranean villa?”
Or your kid asks for “one more bowl” after dinner…
You’ll know:
You didn’t just make salad.
You made joy.
