Fresh Italian Salad

7/18/2014

0 Comments

 
   We have a wonderful neighbour across the road who is very Italian, and so very kind.
   He grows a beautiful garden in the summer, and last year he gave us a pile of cucumbers and tomatoes. I pickled the cucumbers, and made a bit of tomato sauce out of some of the larger tomatoes, but he gave me a delicious recipe (a rough idea in a conversation, really) for a way to use the cherry tomatoes.
   Here it is, the Fresh Italian salad, compliments of my neighbour....sort of.

Fresh Italian Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 pepper, any colour, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 Small onion, diced
  • 1 Cucumber, cut however you want
  • 3 Tbsp (approx.) fresh basil, finely chopped, or 1 tbsp dried
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Method: 

  1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl, and stir to get all the flavours mixed in nicely.

   You can eat this as a side salad, put it on meat, or even on toast (garlic toast is even better!).
