Tomato Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Guess, what day it is??  That's right,  it's "Farmer's Market" day!  This salad recipe ingredients are few of the veggies we love to get.  Beyond being colorful, luscious and healthy there's nothing like the freshness of it.  From its farms to our table... bon appetit!







1 1/2 pint any mix grape tomatoes
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (or more to your liking)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Baby Lettuce, cut in chunks

Halve the tomatoes and add them to a large ziplock bag.  Add the sliced onions, olive oil, balsamic, parsley, sugar, garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Seal the bag, gently mix everything in it, then get all the air out and seal again.  Place into the fridge until ready to use.

Divide the baby lettuce in 4 salad bowls and divide the tomato mixture including its dressing on top of each bowl.  Serve!



Yield:  4 Servings
