Not only does this tomato salad make a fantastic summer side dish, it is also super yummy served as a light lunch over a toasted baguette. Be sure to use the leftover bread to sop up the leftover juices.
Does anyone remember when Jamie Oliver used to have an amazing cooking show on the food network? Daddy Diva and I used to DVR it and watch it during our nightly baby feedings. I’m thinking this was 7 or 8 years ago… anyway, Jamie ( my inspiration) has these amazing gardens and all of his recipes are simple and fresh. One episode, he made this mouthwatering tomato salad and my family LOVES it so today I thought I’d share my version with you.
So simple, so pretty and so delicious.
The best part about this recipe is that you don’t even have to measure. The measurements below are really meaningless – if you love vinegar, add more; if you love salt, add more; hate olive oil? Omit it- the key to this recipe is drizzling the amount of vinegar and olive oil that you really want. Personally, I LOVE vinegar and I add a lot….
I love how simple, fresh and seasonal ingredients allow us to prepare such simple yet amazing dishes like this one! Enjoy!
