Are there other types of fruits that could go well with tomatoes in a salad?

    Tomatoes are a vegetable (fite me bro). They’re botanically a fruit, but they’re high in acid and don’t play well with sweet fruits - Avocado is a good other example that goes terribly with sweet fruits especially citrus.

    That said - avocado salad (aka guacamole) is amazing and tomato salad ditto - whether just tomatoes with salt or caprese.

    It’s not that tomatoes can’t be used in fruit salad it’s that they pair terribly with Honeydew, Grapefruit, Orange, Grapes, and Cantelope.

      Wait, aren’t all fruits vegetables tho? I honestly don’t know, this whole thing is confusing.

      I think we normies should have another word that fits better; “fruit” doesn’t really mean anything in culinary terms, IMHO
