Quick and Easy Tomatoes Salad
Hi all,
It's so hot here in France, and having a hot course for dinner is just impossible. So yesterday I made a very quick and simple recipe : a tomatoes/cheese salad. It's fresh, tasty, and very easy to prepare. Follow these steps to get this simple salad !
This Instructable took part in the "Cooking Basics Challenge".
Ingredients
So, for this recipe, you will need :
- three tomatoes (or two big ones)
- a ball of mozzarella
- toasted croutons
- vinegar
- olive oil
- meat spices (any spice mix you love should work. Even if my mix is for meat !)
Double the quantities if this salad is for two people.
Tomatoes
Ok, wash the tomatoes down the sink, then slice them in thin layers.
Start putting them in a circle in the plate. Of course you can do something completely different.
I think that making something beautiful is very important. Even if it's for yourself. So be creative !
The Cheese
Remove the water from the mozzarella.
Cut the cheese in small cubes and put them in the centre of the plate.
Oil and Vinegar
Add a little amount of olive oil on the tomatoes and on the cheese. Add some vinegar on the tomatoes. Any vinegar you love can fit, of course.
Toasted Croutons
Spread some toasted croûtons everywhere...
Those are ready made, and they are also flavoured.
Seasoning
To finish, spread some spices mix everywhere. They are tasty and colourful.
That's all, you have now a nice salad !!
Eating
I really love this salad, because it's inexpensive, easy and quick to do, and it's tasty.
You have the freshness from the tomatoes and from the cheese,
A little acid touch with the vinegar,
A nice flavors, due to the spices mix and the toasted croûtons,
A crispy side thanks to the toasted croûtons.
Just finish the dinner with a yogurt and a fruit, and that's all for a good and healthy dinner.
