Simple Cherry Tomato Salad

 

A Quick and Easy Summer Side Dish - 

Simple Cherry Tomato Salad With Mint

We have an abundance of cherry tomatoes in the garden! They are the grandsons favorites, because he is allowed to pick and eat them while playing in the backyard. I have half a dozen varieties - including sun gold, black cherry, an indigo, a sweet 100, a yellow pear.... and more, all of which vary by year.

For a super quick side dish in the summer time:

• 2  cups, or so,  cherry tomatoes sliced in half
• 1/4 a red onion, diced
• optional -thin julienned carrot

Dressing:

• 1 tsp white sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 T EVOO [extra virgin olive oil]
• 2 T red wine vinegar  [or sherry vinegar]
• 2 T finely minced mint leaves

Mix the dressing, toss it over the tomatoes.  You can serve immediately, but it's better if you can put it in the refrigerator for an hour or so before serving.
