Tomato Salad with Honey Dressing!

There is probably nothing easier to prepare than a salad.  Ok maybe cereal or toast would be easier.  But when you want to make an easy appetizer or main dish of fresh, healthy ingredients, you probably turn to a salad.  What’s not easy is being creative and doing something a little different.  I really enjoy the challenge of bringing together flavors I wouldn’t normally use together.  That is why I really like this Tomato Salad with Honey Dressing. Every salad starts with fresh vegetables.  I used Roma and Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and green onions.  Slice the tomatoes, cucumbers and chop the green onions.

If you want to get creative, use a Mandoline to chop the cucumbers.  Wait, I have a Mandoline.  That was news to me, but I was happy to find this in my pantry.  It works great.

My cucumbers came out like this!  Pretty cool right?

Here’s the icing on the cake, so to speak.  It actually tasted like icing because it was so good.  This is the honey dressing with honey, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Easy!

Pour the dressing over your beautifully plated salad and you have an incredible appetizer or meal.  Mark and I actually made this a meal.  It goes great with some bread and a little wine (but then again doesn’t everything).  Enjoy!
