CHERRY TOMATO AND FETA SALAD



Cherry Tomato and Feta Salad image

The summer treat to end all summer treats, this cherry tomato and feta salad will satisfy you at snack time like no vending machine fare ever could.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ounces cherry tomatoes
1 ounce crumbled low-fat feta cheese
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Halve 3 ounces of cherry tomatoes and mix with 1 ounce crumbled low-fat feta cheese. Dress with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh oregano.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes. You can also use a variety of colors of cherry tomatoes, such as yellow, orange, or purple, to add a pop of color to your salad.
  • Use fresh feta cheese. Feta cheese is a brined cheese that has a slightly tangy flavor. It pairs well with the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes. If you can't find feta cheese, you can substitute another type of brined cheese, such as goat cheese or halloumi.
  • Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a burst of flavor to your salad. You can also use dried herbs, but fresh herbs will give your salad a more vibrant flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of olive oil and vinegar is all you need to dress this salad. If you add too much dressing, the salad will become soggy and the flavors will be muted.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the tomatoes will start to wilt and the flavors will not be as bright.

Conclusion:

This easy cherry tomato and feta salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients that are readily available, and it can be assembled in just a few minutes. The salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
