Heirloom Tomato Salad With Buttermilk Ranch And Crispy Shallots

This tomato salad with ranch dressing is one of my favorite summer meals. Juicy sliced heirloom tomatoes, flaky salt, buttermilk ranch dressing, crispy shallots and tons of fresh herbs. It’s light, delicious and the epitome of summer.

Could tomato season be any more perfect?!
