Our Best Tomato Salad (Easy) Serves 6-8 This recipe has been an easy summer staple with my family since the 1960s. The recipe came from my Grandma Rose's Friend Sadie Calabrese, years before. Growing up, my Mom often had this on our Summertime dinner table, served with tomatoes from her and my Dad's garden. This is a very healthy and simple tomato salad, but packs a delicious flavor punch. The key to this tomato salad is using fresh tomatoes, not skimping on the amount of herbs, garlic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar & giving the salad time to...

This marinade is a delicious combo of Southern Italian flavors: lemon, chile, olive oil, oregano. However, if you like, feel free to add and/or replace it with your favorite herbs and flavorings.

Ingredients 3 to 4 pounds meaty mushrooms 4 Cups of O’Live A Little’s Sweet Cider Vinegar Kosher salt or pure sea...

I always make a big tray at the beginning of the summer and freeze so I know we always have something to take boating, to a last-minute party or picnic or for a trip to the beach. Cut it into 1”...
