I have a question. Doesn't 2 pints of cherry tomatoes seem like a lot for 4 people?

My husband & I love this salad, it is a salute to Summer! Also as a Personal Chef, my clients love this dish & request it throughout the Summer. I add a couple dashes of toasted cumin seed that I grind in a coffee grinder that is just for spices.

I love the textural contrasts in the dish. The flavors are tangy, sweet, and salty. It's a great way to showcase these seasonal ingredients!

Amazing idea! I probably doubled or tripled the amounts, added in some cucumber, and it was delicious!
