Summer Salads

This is one of my favorite summer salads. Unfortunately, no ones else in my family likes it, so when I make it I have to eat it alone. Perhaps I will make it for picnic in the park next week. It's a great way to use up tomatoes and onions, which are often in abundance.

Tomato Crouton Salad

  • 3 large tomatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped (I prefer a sweet onion, but use your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley or basil
  • 2 cups croutons
  • 2 Tbsp. Italian dressing

Toss tomatoes and onions and parsley with the dressing. Just before serving, add croutons and toss again. Serve immediately. (The croutons get soft quickly, so don't add them until the last minute possible.) So yummy! And easy. And I'm all about easy.
