Not being a smarty but growing up they became the main dish in the summer.
Sometimes stewed with macaroni fresh or just stewed.
At all time it was served cold not hot because we didn't have AC.

Whether for sandwiches or the table I like to crush garlic with basil first and lay the sliced toms on top then flip them
or chives (or red onion sliced thin) and tarragon and maybe parsley or cilantro.

[B]Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, Radish, Onions and Chile Pepper Salad [/B]
I think my husband is partial to this easy salad because it reminds him of the traditional Ukrainian cucumbers and sour cream that his Mom always served.

Cherry tomatoes
Mini cucumbers
Red radishes
Onion slices

Dressing
1/4 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt
Diced fresh chile pepper (stem and seeds removed)
Cilantro finely chopped
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Serve chilled.

Chunks of tomato, yellow onion, fresh squeezed lemon juice, pinch of mint, salt and pepper. Drizzle a small amount of Mazola oil and mix. Don't know why but corn oil tastes better on this than olive oil.

Corn oil tastes a lot better on a lot of stuff.
Sometimes when we try to replicate a recipe and go off on the oil you lose the taste you are expecting from where you ate it last or from your childhood.

When I was growing up the stores didn't have a thousand oils to chose from but corm oil was there and it was in our home as well.

Salted cod, generous raw garlic and a bit of olive oil. Simple
