Tomatoes With Lemon Thyme image

This is so simple that it is almost an embarrassment to post as a recipe. I snagged the idea from the August 2007 Martha Stewart Living, and loved the combination of the herb and the fresh tomatoes. She suggests that placing this salad in the sun for 20 minutes before serving will help the individual flavors meld. That is one thing that you wouldn't want to do with potato salad. LOL (Cook time is the time for flavors to meld.)
