Longing for a summer salad in February?  This grape tomato and feta salad is light, zesty and perfect next to roasted chicken.  Heck, it's perfect right out of the container with a few crackers on the side.  

HERE'S ALL YOU NEED

• 1 pint grape tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped purple onion
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (4 oz.) package Basil & Tomato crumbled Feta cheese

Cut grape tomatoes in half and place them in a medium bowl.  Toss in all remaining ingredients, except feta.  Make sure your salad has enough salt and pepper to taste and you're finish tossing, then add feta in last toss.  Eat right away or served chilled.  This salad is best eaten the same day it's made.

   This salad is great with any meal and it’s a nice change up from the traditional green leaf salad served on the side. (Although, I don’t really tire of eating leafy salads.)

   Re: your grape tomato feta salad from Feb…have you tried freezing this before adding the feta? A neighbor gave us a HUGE bag of grape tomatoes and I’m trying to figure out what to do with them.

   You know, Lisa, I think of this as fresh salad recipe and would not freeze it.

   What about freezing just the tomatoes? They could easily be made into a pasta sauce, couldn’t they?

   Otherwise, my second thought is to pass on the generosity and share the huge bag with friends and family.
