    If there is one salad that makes the most appearances on my Summer dinner table, it's this Classic Tomato Feta Salad. It's a fabulous way to enjoy the best of Summer, with vine-ripened tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil and feta cheese. It's also a salad that loves to be made ahead, which is always a bonus in the busy Summer months.

    This Tomato Feta Salad travels well, so put it on your list to take to your Summer events. It makes a great addition to the Summer BBQ table.

    Cook's Notes

    If you happen to taste the dressing, you'll find it is very strong with vinegar. Don't worry! When it combines with the salad and the juice from the tomatoes, it will be perfectly lovely.

    Dried basil leaves can be substituted, if fresh basil isn't available.

    You can make this salad several hours ahead, but you will want to refrigerate. Be sure to remove from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before serving though, as it will taste best at room temperature.

      I actually made this salad tonight. I messed up a bit of the teaspoon vs tablespoon measurements, lol. It was a busy prep time. Don't worry, I fixed it with extra olive oil and vinegar. An easy to make recipe and frankly, everyone loved it! This is so easy I will keep it in my favourites list as a GREAT summer salad. Thank you for this!
