Mediterranean Salad
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
12 oz cherry or other tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup olives, I use 1/2 kalamata and 1/2 green stuffed with provolone for pretty color.
8 oz container of fresh mozzerella, bite sized or cut up
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt & pepper
Fresh Basil and oregano or1/2 tsp each dried
Pour vinegar over sliced onion while chopping and measuring remaining ingredients. Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss. Most dressing recipes call for more oil than vinegar, but we like our dressings more vinegary. Adjust to taste before serving. Serve alone, over whole grain pasta or next to quinoa.
