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.

Love this salad. I do add feta cheese and even though it gets discolored it’s DELICIOUS with the tomatoes
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!
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
