We recommend 2 large Campari tomatoes or 1 small beefsteak tomato for this recipe. The salad comes together in a flash and features artichoke hearts, pimiento-stuffed olives, carrots, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs; it's hearty enough to eat on its own, but you'll love having the tomato toasts as well alongside. The best part is you don't have to get out your cutting board to prep the tomatoes—simply use your handy box grater. Sometimes cutting up a tomato can be tricky, and you need an extra-sharp knife to get clean slices; using a grater eliminates all of that. Not only is it a great tip for these tomato toasts, you can use this method for any tomato-based pasta sauce.
