Heirloom Tomato and Feta Salad image

This is a fresh, flavorful salad with heirloom tomatoes. Even my non tomato-eating husband likes this recipe. We went out to dinner for tapas one night and they had a similar salad. I came home and recreated it with my own twist. We loved it, I hope you do too. I'm sure this will work with regular tomatoes too.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese, or to taste
6 grape, seedlesses seedless red grapes, cut in half
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 ½ tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried basil
1 wedge lime
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger
1 teaspoon white vinegar, or as needed
1 slice yellow onion
¼ cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Blot tomato slices on a paper towel and place on a serving dish. Cut feta block into slices and place a slice on each tomato. Sprinkle with grapes.
  • Combine orange juice, honey, garlic, salt, and basil in a bowl. Squeeze lime wedge into the bowl. Grate ginger and onion on a nutmeg grater; scrape pulp into the bowl. Fill the vinegar bottle cap with vinegar and pour over the grater into the bowl, to get the remaining bits of ginger and onion juice. Whisk ingredients together.

I give this salad a 1 out of 10. It's the worst salad I've ever had.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this salad was a complete disaster. I'm going to have to find a different recipe.

This salad was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I don't think I'll make it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the salad didn't turn out very well. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The feta cheese in this salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.

The tomatoes in this salad were a bit too ripe. I think I'll use less ripe tomatoes next time.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of feta cheese, but I loved it in this salad. It added a nice salty tang that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes.

This salad was a huge hit at my summer potluck! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the feta cheese added a nice salty tang. I'll definitely be making this again.
