Thread: Tomato Salad with Garlicky Vinaigrette

Tomato Salad with Garlicky Vinaigrette

Ingredients


Salad:

1/2 pound mixed color grape and/or cherry tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
1/2 pound compari tomatoes, quartered lengthwise if small or they can be cut in eighths
1/2 cucumber, small dice (I like a regular one)
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled or 2 ounces mozzarella/prosciutto roll, small dice
Vinaigrette:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
coarse salt
coarsely ground black pepper (you can also use Montreal Steak Seasoning for a short-cut in place of the salt and pepper)
pinch of sugar


Instructions


Place salad ingredients in a large bowl.

Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a lidded jar and give it a good shake. It is a good idea to make extra vinaigrette as it makes an excellent marinade for meats or vegetables, can be used in pasta or green lettuce salads, and keeps for a long time in the refrigerator.

Use just enough of the vinaigrette to wet the tomatoes and toss. The tomatoes and cucumber will give off their own juices as well.

Serves 2.

Yummy!
