I love how on my Twitter feed, I’m all about “Go Fall! Summer’s overrated. See ya summer…don’t let the fall solstice hit ya on your way out…”
But yet, here I am, blogging about a summer salad.
I never claimed to much make sense.
Cherry Tomato Salad with Buttermilk & Basil Dressing
Recipe from Food Network Magazine — June 2012
Ingredients:
6 cups red & yellow cherry tomatoes (halved if larger)
Kosher salt & pepper
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup light sour cream
3 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions:
Place the red & yellow cherry tomatoes into a large bowl. Season tomatoes with salt & pepper; toss. Set bowl aside.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, light sour cream, basil, shallot, and garlic. Season with pepper.
Add the prepared dressed to the tomatoes and toss.
Enjoy!
The tomato salad makes a nice side dish or an accompaniment to a green salad or a steak. Ooooh yes, now I’m craving steak and this tomato salad! Back to the kitchen!
Looks wonderful and the dressing sounds amazing! I always start to crave summer fruits and veggies right before they go out of season:)
I think my blog needs a makeover. Do you mind sharing who did yours for your blog?
It was Jessica Sims Design. I think she’s taking a bit of a hiatus for a couple of months though.
Mmm, this looks absolutely delightful. I have cherry tomatoes, I have buttermilk, I have sour cream… I think this is lunch tomorrow!
I hope you like it! I was a big fan!
I’m on the lookout for a good homemade ranch…and this looks fabulous! I’m a sucker for fresh basil and shallots!!
That looks fresh and delicious! If I may, I’d like to invite you to submit your photos to the new YumGoggle, a photo sharing site with the philosophy that if you worked hard to cook it and photograph it, we should show it off! Hope to see you there soon!
