Whisk together:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (I used the kind with garlic by Great Value)
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Add:
4 chopped tomatoes (Although I used 2-3 cups of yellow cherry tomatoes and red grape tomatoes, sliced in halves -- they were delicious)
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
5 chopped green onions
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Toss together.
I adapted this from a recipe in Prevention magazine. Today, I added a chopped boiled egg, olives and some grilled chicken and put it over a bed of torn lettuce leaves. The other time I made it, I had no cucumber, so I added some yellow baby carrots that were in the fridge. Also, I doubled the recipe, but added 3 tablespoons of the vinegar instead of 2.
Tomato Salad -- yummy!

Yum! This sounds really good. And especially since it is really too hot to cook. Thanks for posting. I'm going to try it for dinner.

Re: Tomato Salad -- yummy!
Crick, I fix this almost everday right now. My dressing is so similar. My grape tomatoes have taken over my flower beds. LOL. Cukes are plentiful. I love the garden produce. I told someone about Butternut squash fries just today. People just don't know what to do with them. Don't we have a wide choice of great foods from which we can choose? LDL is not a boring way of eating. and JF
