• When ready to serve, cut the amount of tomatoes you wish to use in halves or quarters.
• Toss the tomatoes with the dressing to coat and sprinkle with additional herbs, if desired.

• It is a good idea to keep the dressing on the thick side as the juice from the tomatoes will thin it slightly. You can thin more for use as a dressing on tossed salads if you like.
