Tomato Medley Salad

You will be surprise how delicious a simple tomato salad can be when you use the small mixed tomatoes and just the right ingredients to bring out the flavor.  We buy these just about year round at Sam's Club in 2 lb packages and they include all colors, sizes, and shapes.  The package will include your standard Cherry Tomato, Baby Roma, Grape and colors that include Golden, Yellow, Brown, Purple Striped, and of course Red.  When putting this salad together I suggest leaving the very small ones whole but cutting all the others in half and simply add dried Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Coarse Sea Salt, and fresh ground Black Pepper and toss.  The next thing is a good Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, keeping in mind the best mixture of the two is about 3 parts oil and 1 part vinegar, toss and top the Salad with Feta Cheese.  The salad is good with or without some onion added.  One other thing I will mention is that we have used Fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Blue Cheese and none were anywhere close to being as good as the Feta Cheese and the same goes for using other dressings like Blue Cheese, or Ranch - it just does not work.
