Mediterranean Cherry Tomato Salad! #shorts

Cherry Tomato Salad

This cherry tomato salad is the summer salad you need!

This tomato salad recipe is full of fresh, simple ingredients like fresh herbs, lemon zest and juice, Aleppo pepper and olives.

Leave this tomato salad in the bowl for 10 minutes so that the tomatoes release their juices, allowing the unique characteristics of each ingredient to meld in the most delicious way!

The olive oil fried sourdough triangles — a nod to panzanella — are totally optional, but they are perfect to dunk in the juices at the bottom of the bowl.

▢ 4 cups cherry tomatoes
▢ 1 cup pitted olives (I used Kalamata and green olives)
▢ ¼ cup chopped parsley
▢ 2 garlic cloves, minced
▢ Kosher salt and black pepper
▢ 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
▢ Zest and juice of 1 lime
▢ Extra virgin olive oil

To Serve:
▢ 2 to 3 slices sourdough bread, cut into triangles (optional)

1. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, chopped parsley, and garlic. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and Aleppo pepper.
2. Add the lime juice and zest and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
3. Set the salad aside for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the tomatoes to release some juices.
4. Meanwhile, if serving with the bread, quickly fry the sourdough triangles in a bit of olive oil (this is optional). To do this, warm about 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until slightly bubbling. Add the bread triangles and fry for for a minute or two until crispy and golden brown or both sides. Transfer the bread to a large plate lined with paper towel to get rid of excess oil.

Mediterranean cherry tomato salad. I could eat this all day, every day. Cherry tomatoes, garlic, parsley, a leper pepper, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil. You’re supposed to use lime in this recipe, but I only have lemon. No big deal. Almost forgot the olives. Colamaradas. Let this marinade for about 10 minutes. Sour dough. Let’s go. Extra virgin olive oil. Oh yeah. Nice and golden. Put some of the crispy sourdough on the bottom. Look at this. So good.
