They say not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad, but are they using the wrong kind of fruit?

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

Several years ago my wife grew over a dozen styles of heirloom tomatoes. There were several that I think would have worked in a fruit salad, particularly with watermelon and some basil.

Yeah, you can't just throw a grocery Roma into a fruit salad, but what you describe sounds f'n amazing.

Yeah, chilled, and with some aged balsamic. I also enjoyed them with the balsamic, fresh basil (and some mint), some olive oil, chopped green onions, and cucumbers for another good salad.
