Fresh, sweet-smelling tomatoes take center stage in this height-of-summer salad that is sure to convert even the professed tomato-averse eaters among us. Heirloom tomatoes come in a variety of colors, textures, shapes, and sizes. Use a mix of big round ones in multiple colors and a few smaller varieties like cherry tomatoes to give this salad a pleasing mix of flavors. The savory turkey bacon is a welcome counterpoint. You can make the tomato-infused dressing a few hours in advance, if you’d like, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the salad.
