4 -5 medium ripe tomatoes
3 green onions, white and green parts
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil or 1 tablespoon freeze- dried basil
1 tablespoon oil (olive or grapeseed)
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I find fresh garlic a little too strong in this mix)

Steps:

  • Cut tomatoes in half and gently squeeze, scooping out pulp and seeds. Dice.
  • Mince green onions and chop Cilantro medium fine.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes.
  • If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply cook the chicken and vegetables and let them cool completely. Then, store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumber, avocado, or bell pepper.
  • Serve the salad with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
