Chimichurri Tomato Salad
Elevate your garden fresh tomatoes with this healthy zesty Chimichurri Tomato Salad!
There are certain flavors that taste good on everything.
To me, chimichurri sauce is the epitome of a universal condiment.
It’s bold and zesty with a fresh herbaceous quality. Chimichurri magically breaths life in anything it graces from grilled bread and polenta, to steak, chicken, pork, or fish!
I like to keep a homemade batch of chimichurri in the fridge all summer, to amplify quick grilled meals, or to use as a dip with veggies and pita chips.
However, we’ve recently had an endless surge of tomatoes coming out of our garden, so I’ve taken to using chimichurri as a salad dressing.
Today’s Chimichurri Tomato Salad is exactly that… Fresh sweet garden tomatoes and fresh-made chimichurri sauce.
That’s it.
Nothing else is needed here.
I made a small batch of chimichurri with parsley, garlic, oil, and spices. Then poured it over ripe tomato. Voila! This bold healthy Chimichurri Tomato Salad is a quick dinner time dynamo the whole family will love.
If you’ve got more tomatoes than you know what to do with, Chimichurri Tomato Salad is the answer.
