I'm going to share one of my most favorite "side dishes". I say this in quotations because I'm not sure if it's really a side dish per say. Anywho!
It's a balsamic vinegar and tomato mix, and it is so yummy!
You will need the following:
- Fresh tomatoes (I used two, but depending on how much you want will determine how many tomatoes you need)
- Zesty Italian salad mix packet
- Balsamic vinegar
- Green onion (optional)
I didn't use onion in mine this time because I didn't have any on hand, and any onion would work, but I like green onions best for this.
Cut up your tomatoes to your liking and dump them into a bowl.
(If you have onions this would be a good time to chop them and toss them in too)
Sprinkle on desired amount of zesty Italian seasoning mix. I use 1/4-1/2 of the packet depending on how much I'm making.
Drizzle on the balsamic vinegar until the tomatoes are lightly coated.
Stir all ingredients to insure the seasoning gets mixed in. I like to let it marinate and chill for a few hours before eating.
It also makes an awesome dressing topping for salad! Enjoy!
