Anyone have a good recipe for a salad using fresh tomatos?

Question

something with cheap ingredients? I'm broke.

Answer 1

1. Sliced fresh tomatoes
2. sliced fresh mozerella
3. clove of fresh garlic, smashed, paper skin removed, minced, olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple dressing.
4. fresh basil leaves, whole or chopped or ripped.
Mix GOOD olive oil (dark green, or kalamata olive oil) and balsamic vinnegar. Arrange tomatoes/mozzerella alternately (one tomato slice, then one cheese slice, etc. put the garlic in with the oil/vinegar mixture. ;pour over the tomatoes. sprinkle a little sea salt on top. I usually do this with a bed of spinach or mesculin leaves below the arranged tomato/cheese arrangement. In fact I'm bringing this dish to a surprise birthday potluck on Saturday! yum!

Answer 2

Fresh tomatos are the best for easy salads. Some of the easiest things to do are; 1. Just add salt and fresh ground pepper and put on a attractive patter. (simple yet so good and great for entertaining) 2. Whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp. sald, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/3 cup apple vinegar and 2 TSP. Dijoin mustard. Pour over large slices of tomotos and mariniate for maybe 1 hour and serve. (also makes a good lunch with tuna fish on top) Tomatos are easy. Try whatever sounds good.

Take a tomato, not over-ripe, and cut into slices
as you would a cucumber; take a small onion and
cut it up fine as you can; sprinkle it over the
tomato slices; add salt, pepper and vinegar at
discretion.

Is this a trick question? Use what you have .. without you listing what you have .. sounds like you have no supplies ... get fresh basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper, maybe a little parmesan ... dice tomatos .. add a basil chiffonade, 1 T olive oil, 2 t red wine vinager, and season to taste with the rest of the ingredients.

serve with crusty bread ...

Answer 8

Just slice on a plate and drizzle with oil (olive if ya got it), and some vinegar (vinegar's cheap!) Throw some pepper on there, and eat! If you have some grated cheese, top it with that!
Or, chunk some in a bowl, add some canned black beans, onion, garlic and corn (canned is fine). Chill to let the flavors blend.

Answer 9

Tomatoes, cukes, and onions, cut in bite sized pieces, and tossed with your favorite Italian dressing (I like Good Seasons). Holds up well, so it'a still edible the next day. That's economical, you don't have to throw away the left-overs. Matter of fact, pile it on a sandwich, (something on a bun, hoagie or sub) the next day. Yummy

Answer 10

6 cups salad greens, any variety including iceberg
3 or more tomatoes chopped up
1 cucumber, sliced thinly, or any other vegetables you have on hand.
6-8 slices of bacon, crisp-cooked, and chopped
Any other toppings you have on hand, like cheese, croutons (or anything crispy in the cupboard), sliced black olives if you have them.

Any dressing you like and have on hand. You can also use some mayonnaise thinned with milk and add minced garlic or garlic powder.
