  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 12 oz ripe cherry or grape tomatoes
  • ½ cup chopped green onion (adjust as desired)
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion

Instructions

  2. Toss with Onions and Olive Oil: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, green onions, and red onions to create a flavorful base.
  3. Add Optional Ingredients: If using, add the chopped cucumber, cubed avocado, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl. These add texture and creaminess to the salad.
  4. Season the Salad: Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Additional onions or feta can be added to enhance flavors further.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Mix in the fresh chopped parsley as a bright garnish, then serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe and firm cherry tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • The avocado is optional but adds a creamy texture and healthy fats.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
  • For more tang, add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
