Wash and dry the tomatoes. Depending on their size, cut them into halves, quarters, or slices. Place the prepared tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery stalk into small pieces and add it to the bowl of tomatoes for a crisp texture.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the vodka (if using), fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk together until well emulsified.
Pour the Bloody Mary-inspired dressing over the tomatoes and celery. Gently toss everything together to coat the tomatoes evenly in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or hot sauce if desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and an herby touch.
Serve immediately as a bright and tangy brunch side dish or pair with grilled meats and seafood.
