I love the fresh, sweet cherry tomato’s that grow abundantly in the garden this time of year. A great way to serve them is by simply halving around a dozen mixed-color tomato’s and placing them in a medium sized serving bowl. Add the juice from half a lemon, a few grates of lemon zest, a splash of balsamic vinegar, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, a half cup of finely diced red onion, or substitute with leeks for a milder flavor, a full finely diced jalapeno pepper (go hotter if you prefer this real spicy, my favorite is a habanero, and salt/pepper to taste. Add a teaspoon of fresh honey to cut the acidity and add a touch of sweetness and flavor.

Allow the mix to sit for a couple hours to blend the flavors.

You can make some easy additions to this simple salad to match the theme of the main course of food you are preparing – for Italian foods, add some chopped fresh Italian Parsley and/or fresh basil just before serving. Sprinkle with some fresh ground parmesan cheese.

For ethnic foods like Indian, Mexican, Thai etc, add fresh cilantro and a splash more lime juice for extra zest and pungency.

Deliciously healthy food which can be served as a main dish too.
