ARF: Blue Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
by Sarah W. Caron • July 11, 2006 • lunch, salad, side dishes • 5 Comments
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.

This just got saved to my delicious cookbook. Sounds great!
Thanks Kalyn!
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!
I’m featuring this recipe as one of the South Beach Recipes of the Week on my blog. I’m using your photo (with a photo credit for you of course) and a link to the recipe. Please let me know if you have any problem with how I’ve done this.
Thanks,

Wow! Thanks Kalyn! That’s perfectly okay.
