Tomato Feta Salad (Print Version)

Tomato Feta Salad

ingredients

For the dressing:
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
4 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper

4 tomatoes, cut into slices
1 red onion, thinly sliced and separated into individual rings (you may need to cut in half if too large)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, tightly packed and shredded (or sprinkle tomatoes with 1 tsp.dried basil)
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

method

Prepare the dressing, in a small bowl, by whisking together all the dressing ingredients.

Slice the tomatoes and arrange in a single layer, overlapping slightly, in a shallow dish or deep plate (I use a glass flan pan). Spread red onion over tomatoes, then basil, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.

Drizzle with the dressing. Let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.

(If you are making ahead and want to refrigerate, just be sure to remove from the fridge an hour before serving to bring it to room temperature).
