- TOTAL 15min
This cherry tomato salad recipe is undeniably simple, but that doesn’t mean it won’t blow you away. Salting the tomatoes for at least 10 minutes intensifies their sweetness and flavor. We call for cherry tomatoes, but all varieties, large and small, work.
You Will Need
2 cups cherry tomatoes, about 10 ounces
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vinegar like red wine, balsamic or champagne vinegar or use fresh lemon juice
2 ounces feta cheese, cut into large slabs
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Generous pinch of fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
1Halve or quarter the tomatoes so they are a variety of shapes and sizes.
2Add to a serving bowl, then toss with salt. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
3Stir in the vinegar, and then nestle the feta cheese slabs into the pile of tomatoes.
4Scatter the oregano and black pepper on top.
5Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
