As lvs2cook said, I could eat the whole bowl by myself. I make one similiar to this but your's is much better than the one I make. This is by all means a keeper.

Oh my ~ I could eat the whole bowl myself, LOL! My cherry tomatoes went berserk and I have scads of them so after picking today, I decided to make this recipe with them. I halved them (about 1 pint) and added them with my basil from my herb garden and a cuke from the farmer's market. I left out the onion just because of personal preference. I made the dressing as posted and when I snuck a taste before putting it in the fridge, I wanted to eat the whole salad right then and there! This is going to be made often every year ~ thanks so much for posting!!!
