Well, my parentals came to visit this weekend. It was a super fun time and it gave me a great opportunity to try out some new recipes! I made Tyler Florence’s roasted short ribs and stroganoff for dinner but really needed something light to balance out the heavy cream and noodles. 

Enter Easy Peasy Tomato Salad!

This is super simple. Here’s what you do:: 

1. Pick up a 16 oz container of heirloom tomatoes. This will give you shape, size, and color variety. You can pair the tomatoes with arugula, but personally, I love baby spinach (about 7 oz.) so that’s what I got. 

2. Slice the larger tomatoes in the container into halves. Leave the pear tomatoes whole since they’re so cute and tiny already. Lay them on one half of serving dish. 

3. Salt and pepper the tomatoes. Add greens to the other half of the plate.

4. For the dressing, whisk together 3 TBS red wine vinegar and 3 TBS olive oil. 

5. Pour the dressing all over the tomatoes and spinach. 

Difficult? Puh-lease. Super delish? Absolutely.
