Heirloom Tomato and Feta Salad image

This is a fresh, flavorful salad with heirloom tomatoes. Even my non tomato-eating husband likes this recipe. We went out to dinner for tapas one night and they had a similar salad. I came home and recreated it with my own twist. We loved it, I hope you do too. I'm sure this will work with regular tomatoes too.

6 grape, seedlesses seedless red grapes, cut in half
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 ½ tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but this salad has changed my mind. The tomatoes are so sweet and juicy, and the feta cheese and dressing are the perfect addition. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

I thought this salad was just okay. The tomatoes were fresh, but the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not sure what happened, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The tomatoes were bland, and the dressing was too oily.

I'm not a fan of feta cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

I made this salad for a picnic, and it was the perfect dish to transport. The dressing didn't make the salad soggy, and the tomatoes held up well.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy feta, and tangy dressing was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
