Tomatoes and Octopus Salad

Here's another recipe with tomatoes. Cut up ripe tomatoes and marinate in your favorite salad dressing. It keeps for days in the fridge, so it's convenient to have around. It gets more flavorful over time.

Just imagine you are at the beach house...



Tomatoes and Octopus Salad

3 Tomatoes, cut in 1/6 segments
1/2 cup frozen octopus
2 Tbsp sliced black olives
1/4 cup red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing
1 clove garlic, chopped
Splash of lemon juice
1 Tbsp sake or white wine
1 Bay leaf
Handful fresh basil

In a medium sauce pan, boil water with sake or white wine with a bay leaf.  Cook frozen octopus for a few minutes. Drain. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, black olives, chopped basil, garlic, lemon juice, octopus and salad dressing and marinate for a couple of hours. It tastes even better the next day! Garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and serve.

Still lots more tomatoes to consume...
Conveniently comes in a bag.
The only red wine vinegar and oil dressing I use.
Love this dressing!
How about it with a glass of white wine and nice French bread?
