Got an oldie but a goodie.

Tomato Salad

- Take a bunch of tomatoes. Maybe 6 or 8 of them. Can be the cheaper ones, the vine ripened make it better but there's not a huge difference for the $5 you'll pay extra.
- Cube them
- Add salt (I like sea salt). Mix it. Add some more salt. Mix it.
- Add some Italian herbs. Basil, oregano, dill, pepper all work great.
- Add one or two minced garlic cloves if you'd like (fresh, not the stuff in oil).
- Optional: 2 cubed cucumbers (salted after everything else, then mixed again)
- teapoon of olive oil (optional)
- tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar (optional)

Mix well, put in a big container, leave at least overnight. The salt will cause the tomatos and cucumbers to sweat and you'll be left with a big juicy container of flavorful tomatos and cucumbers. I will put this over some good Italian bread (basically Bruschetta) with a little cheese melted on top or just eat it straight up.
