Tomato Salad featuring Fire Cider

KC Health Kids created the original Tomato Salad recipe, and we subbed in our Wild Fire Cider Elixir for a splash of heat & sweet! The combination of juicy heirloom tomatoes and immune-boosting benefits of Fire Cider create a delicious & supportive meal addition as we transition into the fall season.

I can not get enough of this tomato salad recipe - it pulls together in minutes, is packed with flavor, incredibly versatile and supportive to the body - such a win!

You can enjoy it on bruschetta, as a topping for proteins, or mixed into your favorite salads, so many possibilities.

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 medium-sized heirloom tomatoes (assorted colors and sizes)

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese or fresh mozzarella balls (optional)

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Dressing:

Instructions:

  1. Depending on the size of the tomatoes, slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices, or cut them into halves or quarters. Arrange the tomatoes on a serving plate.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  3. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Top with the crumbled feta (or mozzarella), basil, and sliced jalapeños.

Enjoy!
