Ingredients

  • 3 pints cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced shallots about one small shallot
  • ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Medjool dates thinly sliced
  • 1 batch garlic vinaigrette
Imperial - Metric

Instructions

  • Toss all of the ingredients, minus the dressing, together in a salad bowl.
  • Add the dressing right before serving, and toss again.
    • If you think there will be leftovers, serve the dressing on the side instead to maximize how long the salad will keep!

Notes

You can really use any dates you want, as long as they are very fresh and soft!
