This salad reminds me of summertime with my grandparents. It combines simple, fresh ingredients that just taste great together! The recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.
Ingredients
4 Large Fresh Tomatoes like Heirlooms or Creole cut into large chunks
2-3 Cucumbers Sliced, I really prefer the ones available at the market, salad cucumbers will also work
1-2 Small Yellow Squash Thinly Sliced
1 Large Sweet Onion Thinly Sliced
2 Cloves of Fresh Garlic Thinly Sliced
1 cup Multicolored Small Tomatoes Cut in Half
1/2 Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil Like Partanna
2-3 tbl Pepper Vinegar or Unseasoned Rice Vinegar and add 1/2 a chopped fresh jalapeño
2 tsp Cane Sugar
A combination of Fresh Herbs Like Basil, Mint, Parsley & Tarragon or whatever you prefer that is fresh.
Kosher Salt & Freshly ground Black Pepper to your liking
Korean Chili Flake, Optional. This is locally available at Saigon Market
Process
Combine all ingredients except the herbs into a large, sealable container. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour then refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve rip some herbs over the top and I like to add fresh mozzarella as well.
Enjoy!
