So other day I googled and I tried my first tomato salad

9. Tomato and chickpea salad is a meal in a bowl

when it's just too stinking hot to cook. Check out the recipes online. It's basically canned and rinsed chickpeas, seeded and chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, minced parsley, and whatever else you throw in. Chickpeas are some of the mildest flavored beans out there, so you won't get bean haters objecting.

I dressed mine with a simple oil and cider vinegar dressing.

This is close to mine: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/14238/chickpea-salad-with-red-onion-and-tomato/ Other things that can go in are crumbled feta cheese, black olives, cooked sweet corn. You know, clean out the fridge. It's good the second day and can be stuffed into pita with a little lettuce. It's OK on day 3 but everybody is ready for something else by then.
