Friday Fun: Tomato Salad

Do you have more tomatoes than you know what to do with? Yeah... us too. We have been putting them on sandwiches, in salads and even freezing them to enjoy later in the year. But they still seem to be multiplying in the depths of our freezer. It probably doesn't help we keep buying more of them every time we go to the farmers market!

This past weekend we went to a family cookout, and decided to bring a few vegetable dishes along in an attempt to clean out our fridge (it didn't help all that much). In a recent CSA share we received some beautiful cherry tomatoes and a big white onion. We also had some feta cheese left over from a salad we had made earlier in the week. We ended up combining them all together into a delicious summertime salad!

Tomato Feta Salad

2 cups cherry tomatoes- halved
1 large white onion- diced
1 4oz. container crumbled feta cheese
Italian salad dressing

Combine all ingredients except the feta cheese in a bowl, and let chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Top with cheese right before serving. You might need to add another tablespoon of salad dressing right before serving if the salad seems dry. 

Notes from the Test Kitchen
-This salad would be delicious combined with some quinoa if you were looking to make it a main dish.

We hope this helps you to enjoy some of the tomato bounty this summer!

Stay Cool,
