DOUBLE-TOMATO PASTA SALAD
For full-spectrum tomato flavor, this pasta salad pairs fresh tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes. The sun-dried tomato oil and the water that's released from salted tomatoes serve as a built-in dressing. Nuts and herbs add crunch and freshness, but you should feel free to add more embellishments right before serving, like mozzarella or shaved Parmesan, white beans or chickpeas, sardines or another tinned fish, or briny condiments like capers or olives.

Steps:
- Holding back the sun-dried tomatoes with your fingers, drain the oil from the jar into a large pot. Coarsely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the pot, along with the nuts and olive oil. Set over medium-low and cook, stirring often, until the nuts are toasted, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl (reserve the pot), then stir in the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Fill the reserved pot with water (no need to wash) and bring to a boil. Season water with salt, add the pasta and cook until just past al dente. (The pasta will not cook further in the sauce.) Drain the pasta.
- While the water is coming to a boil, coarsely chop the ripe tomatoes. Add to the sun-dried tomato mixture, season with 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. (Tomato mixture can be made up to 2 hours ahead.)
- Add the drained pasta to the tomato mixture and stir to combine. Let sit until room temperature, about 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Pasta salad will keep up to 3 days if refrigerated.
- When ready to eat, taste the pasta salad. If flavors are muted, add salt and lemon juice or red wine vinegar. If it's too sweet, add black pepper and lemon juice or red wine vinegar. Stir in the greens and eat.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes in half and gently squeeze, scooping out pulp and seeds. Dice.
- Mince green onions and chop Cilantro medium fine.
- Add onions, Basil, Cilantro, vinegar, oil and garlic powder to tomatoes and toss. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Store in fridge until ready to use.
- Serve with 2 scoops low fat cottage cheese and gently mix.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: Combining different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes, will add a variety of flavors and textures to your salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for the salad can be made up to a day in advance, giving the flavors time to meld. This will also make it easier to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want to lightly coat the tomatoes, not drown them in dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately: Tomato salad is best enjoyed fresh. Once the tomatoes have been dressed, they will start to break down and lose their flavor.
