cherry tomato salad

Loading...

It's almost summer here in California and my tomato plant is booming. It has grown so big that I have harvested so many cherry tomatoes and more to harvest as you can see on the photo below. 
​
I have made many different kinds of recipe using them but I thought of making a tomato salad with buttermilk and sour cream instead. And for it to be not too boring, I added some chicken strips. Delicious and very simple to make. 

My freshly harvested cherry tomatoes.

The process is very simple, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, prepare the sauce which is composed of buttermilk, sour cream, chopped garlic, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Add the chicken strips then seasoned with basil. Yum!
