 Nothing in this world compares to tomatoes picked straight from the garden. Tomato Herb Salad is a simple combination of fresh herbs and vine ripened tomatoes. This salad tastes exactly what summer should taste like! 

Fresh tomato and herb salad! Herb vinaigrette on this salad is out of this world!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

The place I take my kids to swim lessons also grows and sells hydroponic tomatoes. Their tomatoes taste exactly like the ones I pick from my own garden, except I get them in June! Menus during the week long swim/camp are all planned around those tomatoes. When it’s time to go home I always buy as many tomatoes as I think I can eat before they go bad. This year I made this salad with fresh herbs from my garden and with some of the tomatoes. Happy me!

Tomato Herb Salad! Refreshing!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

My boys will NOT eat tomatoes. At least they think they will NOT eat tomatoes. I’m so sneaky they actually eat them all the time without knowing it. They love salsa, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, sloppy joes, etc all of which I make using fresh or home canned tomatoes. Oh, and they eat ketchup and BBQ sauce like it’s their last meal.

There is no way to disguise this tomato salad into anything besides Tomato Herb Salad. It’s okay, anyone who likes tomatoes in non ketchup form,will fall in love with this salad.

Fresh Herb Vinaigrette

This salad starts with a simple Herb Vinaigrette! This would be amazing on anything, well maybe not anything. Almost though! Since winters are long here and we live a million miles from the grocery store, things like fresh herbs are hard to come by. So, when summer comes around and my garden is flourishing I take advantage of every minute of it.

Tomato Herb Salad and a steak for lunch, anyone? I felt so healthy, until I had dessert!

Man, all this talking about this Tomato Herb Salad is making me want some for dinner tonight. Take five minutes for yourself and throw this salad together. Who knows, maybe you can convince your NOT tomato eaters into trying it! Or you can be like me and not even try to talk them into it, because I didn’t really want to share anyway!
