I recently made a slightly different salad to bring to a church picnic. If you like cherry tomatoes you'll enjoy this one! It was very easy to throw together, it's healthy and it's yummy!
Cherry Tomato Salad
4 cups halved cherry tomatoes (I used a variety of colors)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Mozzarella balls - optional
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place in bowl, stir in green onions.
Whisk all the other ingredients together, pour over tomatoes and green onions and stir together. Add Mozzarella balls if desired.
Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving, stir again before serving.
This can be refrigerated for up to three days.
This looks very good, Mari!!!
ReplyDeleteSo summery. And cherries are excellent for health!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds quick and easy! We are big fans of tomato salad.
ReplyDeleteThe salad is delicious,
ReplyDeleteI make it too, but instead of mozzarella,
I add Greek feta cheese!!
I often make it in Summer with little Mozzarella balls. So fresh and good!
