ARF: Blue Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

Posted on July 11, 2006

So, I’ve been failing to post for the weekly blogging events for sometime even though I intended to. I really like joining in on the fun for events like ARF/5-A-Day hosted weekly by Sweetnicks, since it challenges me to make something new and different that brings more antioxidants and/or vegetables into our home. Check Sweetnicks later tonight for a round up of great recipes.

This week, on my return post to the event, I made a very simple and flavorful tomato salad using fresh farm market tomatoes and basil from my own garden. I love how the flavors came together for this dish.

This would be a great pairing for a simple grilled chicken or London broil marinated in Italian dressing.

Blue Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
serves 2
1 large tomato, chopped
2 1/2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese
2 slices bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup basil vinaigrette

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

    Wow! This is so simple and I have all the ingredients in the fridge .. it’ll have to be halved cherry tomatoes instead of chopped tomatoes though

    This is going to be lunch!

    :)
