    We are approaching the end of summer, and what summer is complete without a tomato recipe? I was looking for a recipe that would accompany my Flat Iron Steak with Chimichurri recipe. This one fits the bill perfectly. Healthy, fresh, easy. What more could you want? The pickled red onion lends an amazing sweetness to this recipe. I don't recommend skipping that step. Pickling the onion first truly does add an extra layer of flavor to this tomato salad that you will not get if you just slice some red onion and toss it in.

    Look at all of that beautiful color! It's a fiesta in a bowl. Eye-catching for sure! I opted for small multi-colored tomatoes that I simply cut in half. The dressing is a simple and healthy vinaigrette made up of Dijon mustard, balsalmic vinegar (white or red), pepper, salt, and olive oil.

You certainly won't be bringing any back home with you, and it is sure to get rave reviews! Our healthy carrot cucumber salad is a great side dish as well so be sure to check it out!
