    Tomato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette [Giveaway]

    Tomato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    This Tomato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette is a vibrant celebration of one of my favorite ingredients, the tomato.  Sitting atop a mound of textural couscous is a haphazard mess of yellow, orange and red dressed in a fragrant, fruity vinaigrette.  Finished with a scattering of chopped oregano, tarragon and mint, this salad is freshness incarnate.  These bold, scrumptsh flavors are sure to keep the fork-to-mouth motion in full effect until the last morsel is consumed.

    I should also mention that the types of tomatoes used aren’t particularly important.  Can’t find yellow cherry tomatoes?  Go with all red.  Orange tomatoes not available in your local market?  Pick up a roma, beefsteak or plum tomato.  Simply use the recipe below as a general guideline.  You’ll definitely want to make sure all of your tomatoes are ripe.  This salad is best consumed during the summer months when tomatoes are in season.  Continue reading for the recipe plus giveaway details.

    Tomato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette

    Tomato Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette [Giveaway]

    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
      

    For the salad:

    • 3/4 cup couscous
    • Kosher salt
    • Olive oil
    • 1 cup Israeli couscous
    • 1 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 orange tomato, cut into thin wedges
    • 3/4 cup red cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1/2 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes (I used the julienne-cut ones shown above)
    • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped oregano
    • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped tarragon
    • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped mint

    For the vinaigrette:

    • 2 sun-dried tomato halves packed in oil, minced (also shown above)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • Kosher salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
    • Place 3/4 cup couscous in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Pour 2/3 cup boiling water over the couscous, stirring to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside.
    • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and 1 cup of Israeli couscous. Simmer until al dente (soft on the outside, some bite left on the inside, about 16 - 18 minutes). Drain the Israel couscous then rinse under cold running water. Let dry then add to a large bowl. Fluff regular couscous with a fork then add to the same bowl.
    • Spread yellow cherry tomatoes out on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper then roast for 12 -13 minutes. The tomatoes will start to collapse and turn golden brown. Set aside to cool.
    • To the bowl with the couscous, add roasted yellow tomatoes, orange tomato wedges, halved red cherry tomatoes, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, tarragon and mint.
    • Prepare the vinaigrette by placing minced sun-dried tomatoes, both vinegars, garlic and olive oil in a mason jar. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and several turns of black pepper. Lid the jar and shake until well-combined.
    • Spoon some of the vinaigrette over the salad then gently toss to combine. I didn't use all of the vinaigrette. Season to taste with additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

      My favorite recipe is thick slices of tomato spread on a platter, with sliced fresh mozzerella, torn or whole basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve with good bread for dipping in the juices. YUM!

      My favorite tomato recipe is my fresh tomato pasta:

      Fresh Tomato Pasta
      Original Recipe

      Ingredients
      8 ounces whole-wheat rotini or other pasta
      5 medium-sized, perfectly ripe tomatoes
      1 clove garlic, grated to a paste
      handful of basil (about 1/4 cup), chopped—I used a mix of purple and lemon
      1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
      S&P to taste
      freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving

      Instructions
      Dice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch chunks, and place them in a large non-reactive bowl. Grate the garlic clove over the tomatoes using a fine grater. Add the chopped basil, olive oil, salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss gently, and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours (or as long as you can). During this time, try not to pluck too many tomato bites from the bowl.

      Cook the pasta until it is just undercooked. Drain, and return to the pot. Spoon some of the juice from the bottom of the tomato bowl into the pot with the pasta. Simmer briefly until liquid is absorbed and pasta is done. Toss the pasta with the tomatoes, and top with parmesan cheese. Eat it all, because the refrigerator is not kind to the flavor of tomatoes overnight.

      4 stars
      Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes
      Ingredients
      1/2 pound fusilli (spirals) pasta
      Kosher salt
      Olive oil
      1 pound ripe tomatoes, medium-diced
      3/4 cup good black olives, such as kalamata, pitted and diced
      1 pound fresh mozzarella, medium-diced
      6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

      For the dressing:
      5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
      2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
      6 tablespoons good olive oil
      1 garlic clove, diced
      1 teaspoon capers, drained
      2 teaspoons kosher salt
      3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
      1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
      1 cup packed basil leaves, julienned

      Directions

      Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking together. Boil for 12 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

      For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.

      Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and toss well.

      My favorite summer salsa.
      (This isn’t exact- I don’t measure this). About 4-5 tomatoes, diced. Pinch of sugar, salt, pepper, 1/3 of a bunch of cilantro, finely chopped, 1 seeded finely chopped jalapeno, 1 finely diced spanish onion, juice of 1 lime. Mix together a couple of hours before stirring.

      During the summer months I use lots of tomatoes from my garden. This is one of my favorite ways to use them:

      any type/size fresh tomatoes you have on hand
      cucumbers
      fresh peppers, any color or size desired
      onion, red, yellow and/or white
      fresh parsley, oregano,
      salt & pepper to taste
      italian salad dressing

      cut up veggies into large pieces. toss with the rest of ingredients. Chill to let flavors blend. Serve as a side sidh or as a topping for a green salad.

      My favorite thing is to slice a baguette, put a pesto or olive tapanade on the slices along with sundried tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. Put it on under the broiler for a few mins and it is DELISH! Easy appetizer for any get together. Good hot and at room temp.

      My favorite tomato recipe is to just slice and put slices of fresh mozzarella between. Sprinkle chopped basil on top and drizzle with olive oil.

      My favorite recipe with tomatoes is a fresh pizza. I buy pizza dough and put tomato sauce, fresh sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese on top then sprinkle it with fresh basil and oregano. I put a light coating of olive oil and bake the pizza on a tray. It comes out soft and delicious.

      My favorite tomato recipe is chili. Here is the one my wife always makes. I am sure she is okay with me sharing it,. It isn’t a family secret or anything. I am pretty certain she just found it on the web somewhere.

      Ingredients

      2 pounds ground beef
      2 onions, chopped
      4 cloves garlic, minced
      2 tablespoons chili powder
      2 teaspoons salt
      2 teaspoons dried oregano
      4 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
      1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
      1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans with liquid

      Directions

      Combine ground beef, onion, and garlic in large stockpot. Cook and stir over medium heat until beef is brown. Drain.
      Stir in chili powder, salt, oregano, tomatoes, and tomato sauce; break up tomatoes while stirring. Heat to boiling, reduce heat to simmer, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
      Stir in beans. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes; stir occasionally.

      , salt and pepper and enjoy a good tomato sandwich. I grew up with tomato sandwiches and there’s nothing better especially with a glass or sweet tea.

      My “go to” tomato recipe when in a hurry but very hungry is to quickly sauté in olive oil—onions ,garlic, sun dried tomatoes, capers, black olives and a can of minced tomatoes-or use fresh minced tomatoes. Add cooked linguini to above sauce, toss and eat—yum!

        Sure! It will taste different, but still good 🙂 You could also try adding flat leaf parsley if you have it. Enjoy!
