Tomato and Olive Salad

This is one of my go to salads when tomatoes are in season. It’s so easy to make and such a pleasure to eat. I always prefer freshly squeezed lemon juice for dressing. I am not a fan of vinegar. I recommend Kalamata olives or mixture of Kalamata and regular black or green olives.  I hope your weekend is amazing!
