Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 5 cups quartered tomatoes (about 4 large)
- ¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup sliced Tanimura & Antle Artisan® Red Onion
- ¼ cup capers, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Feta cheese (optional)
For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Salad Ingredients
Wash and quarter the tomatoes, thinly slice the Tanimura & Antle Artisan® Red Onion, finely chop the parsley and dill, and mince the garlic. Add the tomatoes, herbs, red onion, capers, and garlic to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Toss the Salad
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated, being careful not to break down the tomatoes.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese, if desired, and serve immediately or allow it to rest for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
