Sidelines: Quick Tomato Salad

This is a quick and easy side dish to pull together when you need another veggie on the plate. The kiddos love it and even my hubby who doesn't love tomatoes likes this one!

Quick Tomato Salad
Dice 4 or 5 Roma (plum) tomatoes.
Dice or crumble 4-8 oz of your favorite white cheese (we like queso fresco, a very mild mexican white cheese). Add to tomatoes
Add a generous squirt of your favorite vineagrette salad dressing. (We like raspberry-vineagrette best).

Toss it all well and serve. Or chill then serve. It is pretty and colorful on the plate and mades a refreshing change from green salads.

You can add a couple of slices of finely chopped onions as well if you like. Or some fresh basil, but you don't have to. Toasted almonds would be good too come to think of it.
