Tonight's Side Dish: Tomato Feta Salad


By Pardon My Crumbs (Visit website)



In addition to tonight's Chicken Picatta, I made a Tomato Feta Salad. It has come to light recently that Bryan and I have very, very different "favorite" vegetables, so it's important to accommodate both our tastes. For example, Bryan doesn't like broccoli. I love broccoli. Bryan doesn't like artichokes. I LOVE artichokes. Bryan loves corn. I'm so-so on corn, but feel that it doesn't pair well with certain proteins. The list goes on and on, but the one thing we can agree on is that we both really like tomatoes, onions, basil and feta cheese. So the answer to tonight's side dish dilemma was easy: Tomato Feta Salad.

It's easy to make, as long as you don't mind slicing and chopping for a while. It took me about 20 minutes to make the entire salad, but it's better if you can let it sit for 15-30 minutes or so before eating it. The flavors really meld as it comes to room temperature, increasing it's deliciousness.

Here's how you make it:
4 pints grape tomatoes, red or mixed colors1 medium seedless cucumber, peeled and diced1 1/2 cups small-diced red onion (2 onions)1/4 cup good white wine vinegar6 tablespoons good olive oil1 tablespoon kosher salt1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves1 1/2 pounds feta cheese
Cut the tomatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add the cucumber, onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley and toss well. Dice the feta in 1/2 to 3/4-inch cubes, crumbling it as little as possible. Gently fold it into the salad and serve at room temperature.
