So, this isn't a recipe per se, but it is an absolutely delicious serving suggestion. Last Thursday I was standing in my kitchen marveling at all the ingredients I had on hand while also marveling at the fact that with so many ingredients there wasn't a single dish that was coming to mind. Because I was eating alone, I was open to the grazing option. If I'm cooking for someone else, I feel the need to make something that looks something like a meal, but if I'm by myself I'm totally open to the idea of assembling enough things that together will nourish my body. I always assemble a meal or a graze by making sure I have a veggie, a starch and a protein. Veggies I have in plenty, so that wasn't a problem. Starches I had a few of. Some brown rice, whole grain pasta, and some oldish bread. Protein was harder. I had a whole bunch of frozen meat and some various goat cheeses. I really didn't have the energy to thaw any meat, so cheese it was! And then it came to me! Tomato Salad! I have a bit of a tomato problem. I love, love, love tomatoes and I always buy way more than I probably should eat. But I'm always looking for good uses for my glorious orbs of juiciness. So, here's what I did:

A whole bunch of tomatoes (I used cherry, sungold, beefsteak, standard red, and some yummy yellow ones. Purple ones could add some flair)
A full handful of fresh basil (I had too little to make pesto, to much to just eat, so this was perfect)
Garlic (I used dried garlic flakes in a moment of weakness, but roasted garlic would have been so much better)
Olive oil (I used garlic olive oil for this, but regular would be just as good)
salt (I love Diamond kosher salt)
fresh ground black pepper
crumbled feta and other crumblable cheeses

Toss it all together, taste, adjust as needed, then enjoy it with your favorite bread. Your bread should probably be a little fresher than the bread I had it with on Thursday, but the next day I picked up some new bread with which to eat the leftovers (it was much better). Mmmm.
