I have been smokin' busy the last few days with my daughter's 5th birthday falling on the Canada Day long weekend. I hosted a rather large party with 30 adults and 11 kids and served Pulled Pork as I do every year. It was delish. Although the party is over, as is the weekend, I haven't been home much to get anything done. My fridge is empty and the laundry is piling up. Needless to say, I haven't had time to post. So in lieu of a recipe with a photo, I'm going to post a super simple tomato salad tip. Easiest dressing ever.
I'm not going to give you measurements, just the basics. Take a salad bowl and throw in a finely chopped clove of garlic (you need to like garlic to like this dressing). Toss in a chopped tomato or a handful of halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then drizzle with olive oil - a tbsp usually serves 4. Let it sit at room temp (as we all know you should never stick tomatoes in the fridge) for at least a half hour or up to an hour. The salt draws out some of the juices from the tomatoes as they sit which then mingles with the olive oil and creates a dressing. Toss on some salad greens and you've got yourself a really yummy, clean tasting salad. If you want to take it further, throw in some green onions, cucumbers, basil or bocconcini. So totally simple and so seriously yummy.
I am going to do my best to post a recipe tomorrow. I'm thinking something on crostini...yum.
