View All Section Pages

Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 3/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup French feta cheese, in brine and crumbled (Valbreso® is an excellent brand)

Tip: Place diced onion in a bowl and cover with cool water. Cover and place in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. When ready to prepare salad remove onion from refrigerator and drain. This will decrease the pungency of the onion.

Directions

  1. Cut tomatoes in half and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil and parsley and mix well.
  3. Dice or crumble the feta into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces 
  4. Gently fold feta into the salad.
  5. Serve at room temperature.
