Grape Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the vinaigrette, just before use. Place the lemon in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the essential oils in the skin are released. Since the lemon will be hot coming from the microwave, you will need to set it aside briefly, until it cools just enough to handle.
• Pour vinegar into a blender, turn it on, and then squeeze in lemon juice from the microwaved lemon. Leaving the blender running, add 1 at a time through the feed opening: garlic, mustard, chives, basil, and yogurt, and blend until smooth. While keeping the blender running, add oil through the feed opening in a slow stream.
• Mix together tomatoes, celery, and scallions and toss with dressing.

Steps:

• Combine the honeydew melon, grape tomatoes, and green bell peppers in a large bowl. Whisk together the vegetable oil, lemon juice, sugar, basil, and pepper in another bowl, and pour over the honeydew mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 48 hours, before serving, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add the onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, and parsley and toss well. Dice the feta in 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes, crumbling it as little as possible. Gently fold it into the salad and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Arrange the onion, cucumber, tomatoes, basil and mozzarella on salad plates. Drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a blender, and blend. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil. Toss cucumber and dill in the vinaigrette with fennel seeds and chile. Fold in the tomatoes.
