Last Wednesday we were preparing the lunch menu for the next few days and needed a salad for a side dish. I was supposed to make a coleslaw with red and green cabbages but someone had disposed of the green cabbage so Mike told me to make a salad out of tomatoes. I figured I'd make a simple salad with just a few ingredients so I collected a bunch of yellow, orange, and red tomatoes, red onions, and fresh basil. I diced up the tomatoes and onion, chiffonaded the basil and made a viniagrette with olive oil and red wine vinegar. It was pretty simple but very tasty and people bought it up. This week I was asked to make it again so that we could sell it in the store. I wanted to add in some cubed mozzarella but all the mozzarella had gone bad so that will have to happen another week. The salad is almost like a bruschetta so we sliced up and toasted a baguette and will try selling it as bruschetta to see how that goes. Its so much fun to be able to experiment and branch out with something new.
