Spicy Tomato Salad

About half the size of a roma tomato, egg-shaped baby roma tomatoes are deliciously sweet with a more intense flavor and aroma than the larger variety. They have an elongated “egg” type shape and a deep color. I love these and I adore this tomato salad.

First of all, it’s delicious. The chili pepper really brings out the sweetness of the tomatoes and makes it really something worth getting excited about. The cilantro, well…enough said. I love anything with fresh cilantro. The whole thing is an amazing combination.

The other thing about this salad is it’s versatility. It’s refreshing and makes a perfect garnish to anything from eggplant, potatoes, a simple quesadilla, or even served on top of a green salad. I’m pretty sure you can eat it alongside anything and it will still taste fabulous.

I would even suggest doubling the recipe, while if you love it as much as I do, you will find that you will keep coming back for more and will soon find that it really is only enough for two people, which I guess is okay if you aren’t much into sharing….
