Tomato Salad With Lemon and Basil image

A super simple and quick salad for summer. It is perfect to take on a picnic, as it does not need refrigeration and goes with just about any main course. Use this recipe as a springboard, so to speak, and feel free to add mild onions or fresh mozzarella. We had it tonight as a side dish with a cheeseburger and it was perfect. Prep time includes 10 minutes of marinating time. NOTE: Make sure you use a full-flavored olive oil and let the prepared salad sit at room temp for at least 10 minutes, otherwise it won't turn out quite as yummy!
