Summer Salad and Steaks!



My former sister-in-law, Julie turned me on to this salad when sharing on Facebook.   Immediately, the salad sounded great for a steak and twice baked potato supper on the veranda.

Killer Marinated Tomatoes

Salads, Vegetarian

6 large tomatoes; cut in wedges
3 tablespoons fresh parsley; chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil; chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3  scallions, sliced

Whisk everything but the tomato wedges together in a bowl. Add the tomatoes stirring every now and then. Enjoy!

Notes: The marinade leftover in the bottom of the bowl is too yummy to throw away - sop it up with big chunks of yummy bread, or use it to make rice or quinoa.

After the tomato salad had a good two hours to develop the flavors, 
I served the tomato salad over some freshly cooked and chilled asparagus.  



Twice Baked Potatoes have always been a favorite in my kitchen.   We had left over mashed potatoes, (I know that sounds odd!) but after whipping them again, I added a good quarter cup of Pimento Cheese spread.  While the oven was preheating to 425 F,   I put the potatoes in a pastry bag with a large star tip.  Makes the perfect looking potato for a steak! Baked for 15 minutes until the tops were golden brown around the edges.   






While the potatoes were baked, the steaks were ready 
for serving.   What a great supper for the summertime.  






Bon Appétit and Enjoy 

Your Wonderful World!
