Tomatoes and our family are not friends… My awesome sister tried out this recipe for us!<\/p>\n

I’ve been enjoying my sister’s\u00a0blog posts about Grandma’s recipes\u00a0and was excited that she asked me to participate. \u00a0While she\u00a0has never like tomatoes, our family loves them!<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it’s an easy recipe, and\u00a0I had all 4 ingredients at home.\u00a0 I went out and picked the equivalent of 7 medium sized beefsteak tomatoes.\u00a0 We grow heirloom tomatoes of a variety of shapes and sizes.\u00a0 We have also been growing basil in our garden this summer.\u00a0 Onions are almost always\u00a0in the cupboard, and Italian dressing in the fridge.<\/p>\n

The flavour of the recipe was great!\u00a0 The tomato basil combination never gets old.\u00a0 It seemed like there was more dressing than the salad could support.\u00a0 Grandpa grew tomatoes in their backyard, and I wonder if the tomatoes she used in her recipe were much larger than\u00a0the ones I used.\u00a0 I would definitely add more tomatoes, or cut down on the dressing.\u00a0 The recipe doesn’t include this, but I would suggest letting the recipe sit for an hour or two before eating so that the onions mellow a little!<\/p>\n

Simple & Delicious, the type of recipe I like to stick to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
