Toss the thinly sliced tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of sandwich dressing or a simple mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and herbs (such as oregano or basil).

Step 2
Season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
To Assemble:

Serve the sandwich salad on its own as a side dish or topping, or use it to build your summer BLT sandwich by layering the salad, marinated tomatoes, and onions between toasted bread with crispy bacon.
