CHERRY TOMATO, WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND BASIL SALAD



Cherry Tomato, White Balsamic Vinegar and Basil Salad image

This salad is really simple (and you can probably substitute whatever vinegar you have, making it even more simple) and delicious. I didn't precisely measure my ingredients, so you can start with smaller quantities and make it 'to taste' if you don't have my sour tooth!

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pints cherry tomatoes
4 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, cut in chiffonade
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Slice tomatoes in half and put into a medium sized bowl.
  • Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, dress with vinegar and oil and toss together.
  • Cut basil leaves into chiffonade (roll leaves together as if making a cigar and run your knife perpendicular through at very thin intervals--the result will be little strips of basil).
  • Sprinkle basil over tomatoes, add pepper, toss and serve.
  • Notes: I thought that the salad tasted the best after a few hours. The downside is that your basil can turn a little dark. I'd still say it is worth letting the salad mascerate for a couple hours--maybe adding basil leaves in an hour before serving.

4 Vidalia onions (about 2 pounds, available seasonally at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets), peeled
2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
6 slices of lean bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/3 cup minced fresh basil or parsley leaves
1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Season the onions with salt and pepper, wrap them individually in foil, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender. Let the onions cool in the foil and discard the foil. Chop the onions coarse, discarding the root ends, and in a bowl toss them with the tomatoes, the bacon, and the basil. In a small bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the vinegars, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk dressing until it is emulsified. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss the salad well, and serve it, chilled or room temperature, with grilled chicken or beef.
