Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mixed herbs (such as basil, parsley, or oregano), finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tomatoes: Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes to release their sweet and tangy juices.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes, croutons, and chopped fresh herbs.
  3. Toss with olive oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated.
  4. Serve fresh: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the croutons and the freshness of the tomatoes and herbs.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Use homemade croutons for a more personalized taste.
  • Store leftover salad without croutons to prevent sogginess; add croutons just before serving.
  • Perfect as a quick side salad or light appetizer.
