Recipe from Southern Living, July 2013.

Mix and match colorful assorted tomatoes, such as 'Beefsteak,' 'Brandywine', and 'Cherokee Purple'. Their rich, meaty flavor counters the dressing's tang and zip. Don't overlook the tender inside leaves of the celery bunch-they're quite delicious, and they add an herbal note to the dish.
