Slice the heirloom tomatoes into 1 inch chunks and place them in a large mixing 

bowl.





In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, salt, black pepper 

and tabasco sauce (optional).




Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat all ingredients evenly.




Cover salad with plastic wrap and let the tomatoes macerate for 30 minutes.

Serve salad at room temperature with a slotted spoon. Liquid from the tomatoes 

will collect in the bottom of the bowl, and the slotted spoon will allow you to 

serve the salad without making a wet mess of your plate. You may also wish to

 drain off some of the excess liquid from the salad bowl prior to serving.
