Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Dice them into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh parsley and chives finely and mix them into the bowl for added freshness and flavor.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything gently to combine.
Carefully fold in the crumbled blue cheese, ensuring it doesn’t break apart too much but is evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
Let the salsa sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with crackers, as a topping for grilled chicken or steak, or spooned over fresh greens for a delicious salad enhancement.
