We've already experienced a few days of summer temperatures which quickly reminded me that I don't want to spend too much time cooking meals that require hours in front of a hot stove. Along with grilling chicken on the barbecue, this is a good salad to go along with it. I like healthy meals that taste good, too.
SUMMER TOMATO/FETA SALAD
Four to six ripe, red tomatoes, preferably Roma
4 ounces Feta
½ tsp. dried dill
½ tsp. basil
½ tsp. oregano
1 tsp. ground pepper
½ tsp. salt or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped, red onion, optional
Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and place in bowl. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, onions, spices and herbs together in a small bowl. Pour over tomatoes, toss gently and let marinate for at least a half hour before serving. Just before using, crumble in the Feta. The room temperature tomatoes make a nice contrast to the chilled cheese.
