I bought cherry tomatoes this week and got some in my share. So, I have made two different caprese salads with them and still have more. I just can not eat them whole. I am very picky with tomatoes.
Tomato Feta Salad….. This first one is from Ina Garten and the only changes I made was I cut the recipe in half. If you ever have an abundance of vegetables google what you have with her name and she will give you many delicious options.
1 container of cherry tomatoes
1-2 tablespoons of diced red onion
Chopped parsley and basil
Crumbled feta
White wine vinegar- 1 teaspoon
EVOO- 1 tablespoon
S&P
Quarter tomatoes then add diced onions and a little chopped parsley and basil. Pour in vinegar and oil. Toss with S&P and feta.
Carrabba’s Tomato Salad….
I ate this at Carrabba’s and fell in love with it. I pretty much perfected it at home so I have not had it again there. So easy and fresh.
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1-2 tablespoons of diced red onion
1-2 tablespoons of diced kalamata olives
Basil
S&P
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
EVOO – a couple drizzles
Mix everything together let sit for an hour to maximize flavor.
You can eat this with pita chips, a baguette, over salad, chicken or on a pizza. I think I may put some on my eggs tomorrow.
