Bonjour Joakim,
Voici la leçon en ce qui concerne «de vs. des» en avance d'adjectifs.

I don't think des is de+les here, so it should be 'de', right?

Since «salade» takes de la, partitive, then I sense the same grammar structure would apply to «petits morceaux de tomate».
Here is the lesson that discusses articles partitives.

Let me know your thoughts after reviewing the lesson.
à bientôt

de/des before adjective
From the week 71 A1 writing challenge: "She likes eating salad and also small tomato pieces" -> "Elle aime bien manger de la salade et aussi DES petits morceaux de tomate". I had expected "..et aussi DE petits morceaux.." Isn't there a rule that 'des' loses its s when there is an adjective before the noun?
