  1. Grab your tomatoes and get chopping! Cut into halves or quarters. 
  2. Toss tomatoes with olive oil, vinegar, green onion, and red onion. 
  3. If you're adding the optional (and DELICIOUS!) cucumber or avocado and crumbled feta add it here.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, then give it a taste. Adjust ingredients if desired (I love adding extra onion and feta)
