About the herbs
I love using fresh basil with this salad, as it looks appealing and brings a great flavor. If using dried herbs, you only need a little, about ¼ tsp. You can also omit the herbs, or substitute for thyme or italian seasoning.
About the dressing
These tomatoes are so juice, I usually don't use a dressing with this salad. However, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or a vinaigrette will taste great with these flavors. The calorie estimate does not count any dressings.
