I couldn't ask for a more refreshing, simple and bright tasting salad! Diana #2 recommended this recipe for inclusion in the http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook/2010-Members-Picks-Cookbook-267184; after reading the recipe in the morning, it was on the table by nightfall. Even though I used hot house tomatoes in late April, they were still delightfully flavourful and rich. This salad came together in 5 minutes time and was served with a savory Shepherd's Pie to add a little lightness to the meal. I am chomping at the bit to try this with Summer Heirloom tomatoes!

Tomatoes, Basil and Feta Cheese. With this combination, how could anyone possibly go wrong? Being March, I had to use hot house tomatoes. Imagine how much better it will be when they are fresh out of my own garden. :) This is a wonderful recipe Bobbie. Easy to make and fast to put together. This will be made many times. Honoured to make this as a "Thank You" for voting for Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in the 2010 Kraft Hockeyville Competition.
