I made this recipe for lunch today and it was awesome. Now here's the funny part, I don't like raw tomatoes. Sure, I like salsa, spaghetti sauce, etc., but have always hated raw tomatoes.
So, I saw my wife eating a red vegetable the other day that I didn't recognize. They looked like cherry tomatoes, but smaller and not round. I asked what they were. Grape tomatoes. Interesting. No, they're not hybridized with grapes, they are just kinda grape shaped, but bigger. I tried one. Yummy. They don't have all the goopy guts like regular tomatoes do and they taste great. So that's what I made this recipe with and I loved it. Oh, and I used habanero salsa for some tear-your-face off grade heat. Good stuff!
Thanks GonnaBeADoc!

When I saw this recipie, My first thought was that I would make it with tomatoes for my husband, and without tomatoes for me, because I am of the same opinion regarding tomatoes as you Brian. I love salsa, spagetti sauce, and even bruccetta, but can't stomach plain tomatoes. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

Grape tomatoes are my favourite! I love that you don't have to cut them and they aren't messy. My neighbours grew some last year by mistake. They meant to pick up a regular sized tomato plant. It was to my benefit: they refused to eat small tomatoes so we got lots and lots. Cherry tomatoes are the worse. Too big for a bite, not big enough to bother cutting into slices.
The salad is like a Greek village salad. Only that one also has onion in it. And oil.

I did something like this but did it a bit different.
3oz cucumber
3oz grape tomoatos
2 oz onion (thickly sliced)
90g Lilydale turkey breast
Dressing:
1.5tsp light cream cheese
1tbsp allowed italian dressing
1-2 drops of dijon mustard
tad of soy sauce (light)
Mix the dressing in a seperate container, add it to the choppes veggies and turkey.
I was thinking after that you could also add a bit of cheese (allegro) of course less turkey to make it an even protien serving.
Yield: 1 protien 1 veggie 1 1/2 Miscellaneous: Garnish
1 miscellaneous: Seasoning
Very very yummy!!
