Heirloom Tomato Fattoush Recipe
Heirloom tomatoes are a type of heritage tomato that is open-pollinated, meaning the seeds can be saved and grown again the following year. Heirlooms come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, and are often more flavorful than modern hybrid varieties.

- -1/2 cup of fresh parsley chopped
- -1/4 cup of fresh mint chopped
- -1/2 small red onion diced
