This Fresh Tomato Salad can serve as a side or topping or in lieu of salsa. It adds a lot of bright flavors and texture. Try this Fresh Tomato Salad on top of burritos, enchiladas, wraps, pita, sandwiches or salads. It is guaranteed to brighten up a plate of Indian, Mexican or other cuisine. Perfect alongside some of my favorite Ethiopian dishes like Mesir Wat (Ethiopian Lentils) and Abesha Gomen (Ethiopian Collard Greens),
