Tomato salad with fresh herbs

Making lunch something special doesn't have to be buying expensive ingredients, spending a long time preparing. The herbs are growing fast in my herbgarden now, and with a few tomatos in the fridge I decided to make lunch, which usually consists of bread here, a little tasty and colourful.
The bread was homemade, which is always a treat. I diced the tomatos and sprinkled chives, oregano and "løpstikke" (lovage?) on top, all fresh from The Blue Garden of course. I had an unopened bottle of spiced extra virgin olive oil which I bought in Prague last year, and it was just perfect for this salad.
The tomatos were eaten with a couple of slices of homebaked bread. The bread was one day old, but as long as the bread is homebaked (in The Blue Café) it still tastes almost fresh from the oven.
