Summer Tomato Salad and Elderflower Blossom Cocktail (Sweet Nothing)

Summer Tomato Salad and Elderflower Blossom Cocktail (Sweet Nothing)

I'm obsessed with the fresh tastes of summer / spring - this Tomato Salad brings sunshine back to the Bay. We've been hit with rain week after week, and I thought something fresh would put me in the mood for warm weather.

Makes 2 servings:


1 3/4 cup Sliced tomato
1/2 cup Chopped roasted pork or chicken
1/4 cup Cliantro
5 Basil leaves sliced thinly
1/2 cup White Beans
3 Tbs Grapefruit-White Balsamic vinegar from Sigona's
Juice from 1/2 lime ( to taste )
1/2 Tsp Salt

Mix and serve! Fresh, delicious, and perfect cold.



The Sweet Nothing

6 oz. St. Germaine Liquor
2 oz. Lime
Splash of tonic water

Shake with ice, pour in a martini glass

Garnish with a thin slice of lime sprinkled with kosher sea salt

It may not be summer... yet, but this will put you right next to the beach, drink cocktails with friends, and BBQ'ing the night away!
