Heirloom Tomato Salad with Feta Dressing

It truly is summer in my garden; my kitchen counter is once again filled with beautiful heirloom tomatoes from my garden.

In working my way through the Monday Morning Cooking Club’s It’s always about the food cookbook (yes, the one my recipe is in), I came across this recipe for Heirloom Tomato Salad with Feta Dressing by Michele Wise. How perfect does that sound?! Well, about as perfect as it tastes!

I had to adapt it a little – there were only 2 of us and our avocado was bad (I am not including it here, but avocado would be great in this salad.
