Some Substitutions for Your Perfect Cherry Tomato Salad Recipe
Recipes aren’t one-size-fits-all, so here are some substitutions/suggestions for you to make the perfect recipe!
- Firstly, you can use whatever tomatoes you like for this recipe. The best are going to be the cherry tomatoes or Italian tomatoes.
- Not my favourite, but many people like to add oregano to their tomato salad to add more flavour.
- Don't like spice? No problem! Just take out the jalapẽno.
Frequently Asked Questions
Storage
It may seem a bit controversial, but I recommend storing your cherry tomato salad in an airtight container and leaving it on the counter. Once tomatoes hit the fridge, they tend to lose most of their flavour. Not ideal.
Pairing
This cherry tomato salad recipe is the perfect pairing to SO many things. I love it on the side with a BBQ dinner; it’s a great starter or side dish for Italian pasta night, and my favourite: served on crusty bread with a little goat cheese. SO good.
Shelf Live
Now, because we’re being ruthless and storing this on the counter, you probably have 24 hours with your cherry tomato salad before it bites the dust. Plan accordingly.
My Kitchen Rules to Live By
- In the words of Bethany Frankel, if you don't love it you don't like it. Find recipes you love, or they're not worth making.
- Every recipe is really a suggestion; don't be afraid to change something to make it something you love.
- If you're starting out, don't be afraid to try. The best chefs also had to start with a first dish.
- Every recipe is best served shared. Find the recipes you love, and share it with those you love.
