Ready for my latest obsession? This Marinated Tomato Salad with Feta is super easy to make, perfect for a light meal, and you can feel good about eating them! These would be great this Summer when you have fresh tomatoes coming our of the garden!
At the restaurant I work at, we started serving a marinated tomato salad to serve along burrata. One day for lunch I just ate the marinated tomatoes but then added some feta and pepperoncinis. The next day I added chicken for a more complete meal. I knew I had to try making this at home so I could share it with you! This Marinated Tomato Salad with Feta will be the perfect light lunch all Summer long or to serve as a side dish at your BBQ’s!
To be completely honest I do not like raw tomatoes. I like to cook with them and don’t mind when they are in a pico de gallo or things like that. So I was surprised that I enjoyed these Marinated Tomatoes as much as I do. Maybe it is because I am pregnant and tend to eat a little healthier or crave better things for my body. But either way these are delicious!
What you need for this simple Marinated Tomato Salad with Feta
- Roma Tomatoes
- Garlic
- Shallot (or sweet onion)
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Italian Dressing
- Italian Seasoning or Fresh basil
- Feta cheese
- Pepperoncini’s
- Salt & Pepper
- Serrated knife for easy cutting
How to make these delicious Marinated Tomatoes
First start by chopping up your roma tomatoes. I always use a serrated knife for easy cutting. Then dice up your shallots and mince your garlic.
Then combine the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, olive oil, seasonings, red wine vinegar, and Italia Dressing to the a medium bowl.
Give everything stir so that all the tomatoes are covered in the liquids. Then add the feta and pepperoncini on top. If you are gonna have these sitting over night or for a few days you may want to add the feat and pepperoncini at the end so they don’t get too soggy.
What are shallots?
I like to cook with shallots here and there when you are looking for a more sweet flavor. Shallots are like a small onion but are on the sweeter side. You can find them in the produce section either by the onions or in the cold area but jalapenos, peppers, etc.
What to serve with this Marinated Tomato Salad with Feta?
I like this just as it is or even over spring mix for a delicious salad. This would also be a great dish along side some Grilled Blackened Shrimp, when you smoke a brisket, or grilled chicken!
