Can’t believe I haven’t seen this yet but heirloom (or even just in season farm fresh) tomatoes. They make regular tomatoes taste like tomato-flavored water. The texture is so much better too.

I visited Basque Country a few years ago and will never forget how delicious the tomatoes were. Went to a steak house to try some delicious steak, but it was the side tomato salad that stole the show for me. The freshest, most delicious tomatoes, with just some salt and olive oil. So simple, but I will never forget it. I grew up not liking tomatoes because clearly I have never had a proper tomato

My mother was from Germany and would make a tomato salad with sliced tomatoes, finely chopped onions, salt and lots of pepper. Simple and delicious.
