This simple Tomato Salad has a healthy balsamic vinegar dressing. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, it’s full of flavor!
What kind of tomatoes should I use to make tomato salad?
Cherry and grape tomatoes are both great options for making tomato salad. You can also dice up heirloom tomatoes, romas, and other garden tomato varieties. They will all work great in this recipe, though cherry and grape tomatoes produce the prettier result.
Can I add cheese to tomato salad?
Yes you can! This recipe would go well with 1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, or some fresh mini mozzarella balls. Just be warned that the dressing will discolor the cheese so it is best to add the cheese right before serving.

Hi Rachel,
I am planning on making this recipe…so I cant rate it honestly BUT I believe in your recipes 100%. I have contacted you in the past, it has been a few years… I have your new cookbood-it is beautiful! I had your website saved on my computer and I will admit I have not used it in quite some time. I opened it and the site looks totally different than before. I had saved so many recipes..ones that I had tried and ones that I plan on trying. With the different website, there is no place to login but it will allow me to save a recipe, unfortunately I am not sure where I am saving it. I do not have access to my old acct with you.
I am not tech savvy…so I don’t know how to retrieve my old saved recipes or take a look at the new ones I am trying to save.
I also was not able to open up the the “contact the stay at home chef” so that is why I am contacting you here… Please advise.
Thank you,
Vicki
My Italian grandmother made this with fresh garden tomatoes all the time. Serve with a side of fresh Italian bread for dipping. It is a delicious alternative to the lettuce and sides. Simple and delicious!
Saw this video this morning and thought that sounded really good so I made it for supper… All I got was mmmmmmmmm from hubby, he had a plate full of salmon, mashed potatoes and peas and he ate the tomatoes and went back to get some more… Really good… I also made your orange rolls again today, they are sooo good… Thanks for the recipes, keep up the good work… 🙂
Thanks. Having grilled salmon tomorrow – now I know what’s going with it
Love this salad. I do add feta cheese and even though it gets discolored it’s DELICIOUS with the tomatoes
Before or after baking?
Make this tomato salad, you will not regret it! It was gone in one sitting with raves. Cannot thank you enough for making me a better baker and cook! ?
I love this tomato salad with basil!
…if you add some Dijon mustard to the vinegar oil mix it will thicken it without changing flavor. Honey Dijon makes it a little sweeter. Just a little food chemistry my Mediterranean dad taught me.
Enjoy!
Look great will.try
I made this for a side for my lunch and it was so darn good. I omitted basil because I don’t like it.
I mixed the dressing separate from the tomatoes and spooned some on before I ate it. How long will the dressing be good for in the fridge? Thanks
Sounds delish! Will make for a church meal! Thanks!
