~~Super Simply Tomato & Onion Salad~~

During late summer when the vines ripen with tomatoes it becomes the season of tomato salads and they are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:
  • Sweet onion thinly sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes (I get a medley of red and yellow cherry tomatoes for more color)
  • Feta Cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil
  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Northern Italian Dressing (Or you can use just olive oil and Balsamic or red vine or apple cider vinegar)
Directions:
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place in a bowl with the thinly sliced onions add the Northern Italian Dressing mix and let marinate for an hour.
  • When ready to serve add the basil, parsley, and Feta cheese and toss lightly.
Now wasn’t that easy?

Options:

  • Add a cucumbers
  • Add an Avocado
  • Add black olives such as Kalamata.
  • Some recipes add red pepper flakes (But I don't like my tomato salad spicy)
  • Some use red onion but I find to have too much bite of the raw onions and some some soke them in water to cut the bite.
