    This Marinated Tomato Salad is full of fresh flavor and can be used in so many ways as a side dish or a topping for chicken, beef or fish.  Trust me, you'll be eating this all summer long.  (gluten free, vegan, dairy free, paleo, whole 30}

    Marinated Tomato Basil Salad

    If you are anything like me you have been waiting for tomato season all year.  There's nothing like warm, fresh picked tomatoes off the vine.

    Wish I could say these were from my garden but alas I am a failure at gardening.  I have a small garden this year with cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini but no vegetables to speak of.  I guess there's still hope, so we shall see.

    Do I get points for growing this basil?  Woo hoo!

    Marinated Tomato Basil Salad

    This lovely Marinated Tomato Basil Salad can be eaten alone or as a side dish and is perfect for a potluck, block party, or Fourth of July bash.  OR you can add it to simple weeknight dinners to make them extra special.

    Here are some of my favorite ways to eat this salad...

    • on top of grilled fish
    • as a cheeseburger topping
    • on top of my Grilled Chicken Souvlaki
    • perfect on top of a steak, add blue cheese for extra goodness
    • use as a filling for tacos or burritos with leftover chicken
    • add to your favorite lettuce for a quick salad
    • use as a topping for ricotta or avocado toast
    • put it on a fried egg
    • other fun mix-ins; feta, blue cheese, cucumber, olives, chickpeas, lentils or corn

    Make a double batch so you have leftovers!

    So get out there and enjoy summer while it lasts.  EAT FRESH every day!

      I never liked tomatoes until I tasted them fresh from a farmer's market, as soon as I did, I called my Mom telling her how good they were! This salad would be perfect for those farmer's market tomatoes!
