About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

I've made similar salads but they use more oil, vinegar and often sugar. This one was perfect with only one tablespoon each of olive oil and vinegar along with some salt and pepper. When I tasted of it at first I though it didn't have enough dressing but after the 10 minute marinating time it was perfect. I'll be making this on again. Loved the sweet onion in this one along with the cucumbers and tomatoes. I had a variety of heirloom tomatoes, both cherry and pear so I chopped some of the pear ones to go along with the cherry halves. I also like the addition of flat leaf parsley that I haven't seen in most salads like this.
