Tomatoes with Oregano and Lime

This recipe calls for lime juice—rather than lemon juice or vinegar—to brighten the sweet flavor of summer tomatoes. We used heirloom varieties for their exceptional taste and vivid colors, but you can use any kind or size—from the farmers’ market or your own backyard—as long as they are ripe.
