Use a combination of your favorite varieties. We like a mix of red Brandywine, Green Zebra, and Persimmon for the beefsteak tomatoes, and Sungold, Yellow Pear, and Green Grape for the cherry tomatoes.

This was delicious and sooooooo easy. I omitted the toasted bread as I don't like croutons and such in my salads. Bet it would be good mixed with pasta either hot as a main dish or cold as a pasta salad. This is going to be on the table frequently -- especially since I'm getting delicious tomatoes in my garden!

Full of flavor. I cut the tomatoes smaller than called for, and served as a Bruschetta.

Love it! We had this salad once a week all summer long. The capers and mint give this salad a little something extra.

The mix of herbs is interesting, especially the mint. Made the recipe as stated, but may vary the cheese next time. Dress the tomatoes with the olive oil and balsamic right before serving -- I didn't and the tomatoes were a little too 'drenched'.
