There's nothing like a juicy Tomato Salad to make all summer long! My grandpa used to make this Tomato Salad Recipe and load it with feta, fresh mint, oregano, and toasted pita chunks on the stove. It's a hearty, delicious, and comforting tomato feta salad like not other!
Start by making the crunchy bread.
Tear up a thick pita bread into a skillet to the size you want, I prefer less than an inch chunks.
toss in the garlic and oregano and olive oil over the bread.
Toast over medium high heat, turning occasionally for 8-10 minutes depending on how crunchy you want it to be.
Let it cool in the skillet and remember it will continue cooking.
For the salad, cut the tomatoes and arrange them on a plate.
Add int he shallots and herbs.
Add in the feta cheese.
Then add the bread chunks.
Toss the salad with lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
Enjoy!
Tomatoes are really rich in anti-oxidants, vitamin C and Vitamin K. And unlike creamy tomato salads, this one is an absolute load of pure tomatoes without the cream!
Since this is a classic Mediterranean recipe, feta cheese was my cheese of choice. However you can find another hit of a tomato salad with mozzarella in this Caprese Salad. If you're making this dairy free or vegan, you can skip or use vegan cheeses.
Again, I absolutely would suggest this recipe! It's heavily based on tomatoes and only tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes, large beef tomatoes, tomatoes on the vine and pretty much all tomatoes are unique in their own way. Today I've used on the vine as this is a family recipe and I didn't want to change a thing about it.
