Tomato Salad With Lemon and Cilantro

"Another magazine find. The lemon rind and juice get utilized in this salad. I love the lemon oil fragrance in the lemon skin! I had it as a side dish with shrimp scampi and it went well. Nice with sea salt."

  1. I did not have any cherry tomatoes so I used large ones. This is such a flavourful salad and is ready in no time. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. This salad was enjoyed by all-It is so simple to make- has a very pleasant tang and looks beautiful to serve. Definately will make this again Thanks OOlala for adding a nice touch to my luncheon for friends
     
  3. I needed a simple dish so I chose this recipe as I love Coriander (Cilantro), Tomatoes and Lemon. I didn't have cherry tomatoes so I used 4 large tomatoes, I also used less then half the olive oil. The taste was superb, perfect for summer nights as it was revitalizing. Thank you for your post Oolala.
     
  4. Made this last night to go with my grilled pork chops. What a nice combination of flavors... sweet tomatoes and tart lemon. YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
     
  5. Very nice. I really didn't follow the recipe, only the concept. I used fresh cherry tomatoes from my garden,drizzled extra virgin olive oil over them, squeezed a half of a lemon over them along with some of the lemon zest, sprinkled with a little chopped cilantro, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Very refreshing summer salad. Thanks for the great idea

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
