  1. This tomato salad is super! The dressing adds so much zing, with the garlic, ginger and lemon juice (I didn't use the vinegar.) Very fresh and light. I opted not to use the sugar, and just added a tablespoon or so of oil because I don't like my salad dressings very oily. I did have a little problem making a fine paste of my ginger and garlic and ended up with some bits and pieces, but it's still fine. I've been trying to eat more fresh garlic and onions, and less processed and cooked foods (enzymes and all that nutrition stuff) and this recipe is just perfect. Thanks, Evelyn.
     
  2. This was very refresing.
     
  3. This is so good. To make a paste of the ginger and garlic, I used a fine mesh micro-plane. Very easy and very quick. I made the recipe as written and we loved it. Thanks Evelyn for posting.
     
  4. Simple but really yummy! The ginger sets this apart from other salads of this type. I used the optional sugar. I'll be making this often while my cherry tomato plants are producing. Thanx!
     
  5. I LOVE tomatoes naked and I wasn't super eager to try this, but my husband thought it might be a nice change. WOW am I glad we tried it. I LOVED the recipe. It's super easy to pull together and the flavours work so well. This will become part of our everyday recipes!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
