Easy Tomato Salad
-
15 ounce can no-salt-added-tomatoes
-
Any of the Following--Balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, olive
oil, celery seed or celery salt, True Lemon, basil, dried onion,
onion powder, onion salt, garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper or sugar
Begin by draining the tomatoes until they are quite dry. The juice
that drains off can be added to soups, bean dishes, or drunk as
tomato juice. Now season the tomatoes according to your preference. I
like balsamic vinegar and basil together, or lemon and celery seed,
or cider vinegar, garlic, onion and olive oil. I also like them plain
with a dash of salt and sprinkle of sugar. You can season the
tomatoes for everyone in a big bowl, or let each person season their
own serving individually. This makes 3 servings. This is a refreshing
and tasty dish, easy on the cook and enjoyed by the eaters.

Red & White Salad
Open the tomatoes and drain off all of the juice. Actually squeeze
them dry if need be. Place them in a small serving bowl. Open up the
water chestnuts and if possible rinse them to remove the flavor of
the can. Chop the water chestnuts if necessary. Place them in the
bowl with the tomatoes. Add the lemon, sugar and celery salt. Mix
well. If you have the time allow the salad to sit for 20 or 30
minutes giving the flavors a chance to blend. Makes 4 servings.
This salad is crunchy, juicy and refreshing. If you're fond of onion
add 1-teaspoon of dry onion along with everything else. The flavor is
light, clean and summery. Feel free to alter the seasonings to suit
your palette. This recipe is a great one for fighting food fatigue. |
