Marinated Tomato Platter

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion or snipped chives

  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

  • 2 medium zucchini or cucumbers

  • Leaf lettuce (optional)

  • 3 large red and/or yellow tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine oil, vinegar, green onion or chives, and pepper. Cover and shake well; chill till needed.

Cut zucchini or cucumbers in half lengthwise. Seed cucumbers, if using. With a vegetable peeler, cut zucchini or cucumber halves into thin, lengthwise strips (about 1/2 to 1 inch wide).

Shake dressing and drizzle atop vegetables. Cover; chill at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.
