Marinated Cherry Tomato Salad
This is a very refreshing salad. I served mine with simple, grilled steak.
Servings: Serves 4.
Ingredients:
40 cherry tomatoes, halved (approx. 1 package)
4 green onions, minced. White and light green parts
3 oz of pine nuts
½ cup of olive oil
2 Tbl red wine vinegar
1 tsp of sugar substitute (like Swerve or ZSweet)
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
Grated sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl combine the cherry tomatoes and green onions.
In a dry sauté pan add the pinenuts. Toast them over medium heat until golden brown. Toss them often and keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. You just want golden brown on one side or a bit more. Don’t completely toast them. Add them to the tomato mixture.
Make the salad dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, sweetener, and seasonings. Taste test for whether it needs more salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and chill the whole thing for an hour.
Then serve.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
