At the height of summer, we always have so many extra tomatoes in our garden. While I enjoy making my own sauce and salsa, I like a non-cook option for when the weather gets super hot. It’s also a great way to use up extra basil and oregano from your herb garden. 

Greek Tomato Salad Recipe

This is a fantastic summer salad that’s quick and easy to make. It looks like you spent a lot more time preparing it than you actually do! You can purchase the mozzarella cheese balls already pre-made. Or, you can buy a traditional block of mozzarella and cut-up cubes to use in your salad.

Greet Tomato Salad Recipe Variations

If you like, turn this into a Greek Tomato Cucumber Salad by adding slices or cubes of fresh cucumbers. It’s an easy way to change up the taste of this salad. Or, go all out with a Greek Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad and add crumbles of feta cheese.

This is the perfect summer salad for a hot summer day! For more information about the book this Greek Tomato Salad recipe came from, you can check out the reviews.

Another way that I enjoy eating cherry or plum tomatoes is on wooden skewers with fresh mozzarella balls. Just put a small fresh basil leaf between each tomato and cheese ball for a festive look.

Extra Tip:

I love fresh herbs and I use them all summer long when they are in season. However, if you want to enjoy this summer salad in the middle of winter or early spring, you can sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil over the top of the salad instead. It is still delicious, but I do prefer this salad with fresh herbs whenever possible. What do you think, is this like a traditional Greek tomato salad recipe?
