Middle Eastern Tomato Salad

Middle Eastern Tomato Salad

This salad is a perfect side dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet, or any other diet for that matter, and it’s an incredible tasting summer treat for anyone, whether or not you’re on a diet. I think it pairs wonderfully with any kind of grilled meat or fish.
