This appetizer is as delicious as it looks. It’s tasty, simple to make, fresh, and healthy! My daughter first made this appetizer for me and I was sold on the first bite. This will definitely be a go-to appetizer for me.
We’re a little past fresh homegrown tomatoes, but these store bought ones were perfectly delicious and I love the multi colors they gave the dish.
*The great thing about a recipe like this is that none of the measurements need to be exact. A little more of this, a little less of that, and it will still be delicious!
