Farmers Market Inspiration,  Simple Sides

Tri-Colored Tomato Salad

May 28, 2019 /

This past weekend I took my bike (whom I affectionately refer to as “Franky”) down to the farmers market. While there, I scored some different varieties of cherry tomatoes and a bouquet of tulips!!! I really enjoy this salad as a side or as a starter and the contrast in color makes this dish beautiful!! This is perfect in the summer/fall when tomatoes are abundant.  I like to accompany this with grilled flat bread.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of quartered cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 Tbs. of red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. of apricot preserve ( honey will work if you don’t have the preserve)
  • 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. of minced parsley
  • 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

In a medium bowl whisk olive oil, vinegar, and apricot preserve. Fold in remaining ingredients and finish with salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Enjoy,
