TOMATO & LETTUCE BASIL SALAD

Posted by Carole Anne on August 24, 2009

With all the mouthwatering tomato’s available in August, this very simple marinade salad fits right in.  My friend Ann, uses balsalmic vinegar and basil with a touch of pepper and sea salt as the marinade.  Now, this is just perfect on its own, but, if you would like to turn it into a salad, here is how.

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups of leaf lettuce (romaine or red lettuce) crisped in refrigerator.

2 green onions chopped in small slices,

10 cherry tomatoes sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup feta cheese

pinch sea salt and freshly ground pepper

1/3 cup light extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup basalmic vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh sliced basil

SALAD MIXINGS:

Place sliced greens in salad adding green sliced onions and halved cherry in nice wooden bowl.

Add chopped avacado and fresh basil.

Whisk extra virgin olive oil in with basalmic vinegar

Just prior to serving, whisk the extra virgin olive oil and basalmic vinegar and drizzle it ofer the top of the salad.

Voila!  We have a dynamic salad in minutes to serve your guests.
