Tomato Salad
 

I learned this recipe from a gal from Yonkers back in 1977..
Wish i could thank her again.
------------------------------------------------------------------

4 very large, very ripe, juicy, sweet tasting tomatoes chopped into bite sized pieces.
1/2 purple onion chopped into small bits (about 4T)
1 cup of freshly chopped basil
tad of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (very little. tomatoes will sweat lots of juice)
salt and pepper
8-10 ounces of crumbled feta cheese

toss, let sit for a good 30 minutes, serve at room temperature.

I am really wanting to try this. Do you know off hand the carb count per serving? Thanks :)

Sounds great. File this away to try with some homegrown tomatoes and basil this summer.

My mother made pretty much this exact thing *No feta though* and it was incredible. Simple and delicious!

This tomato salad is very portuguese..I'v been to Portugal tons of times and we ate a lot of it! Except they add olives instead of feta

i ate a lot of this salad, this summer.
i alternated between Feta & Bleu Cheese

love that blue cheese.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
 

Instead of cheese, I added a diced ripe avocado :yum:.
I also used a splash of red wine vinegar and a few dots of liquid SugarTwin (Canadian) instead of balsamic vinegar.

Simple and Delish. Thanks Lynne :rose:
