Grape Tomato Salad

                           

Grape_tomato_salad_2

This is a modified version of  a Thai salad dressing. A  lighter sweeter mix.I excluded the hot peppers and drizzled the dressing with just a hint of fish sauce.I liked the way the dressing matched with the sweet flavor of the grape tomatoes. Just perfect for a cool spring weather.

Ingredients:

Grape tomatoes sliced in halves
Freshly squeezed key lime juice
Chopped Cilantro
Sugar
Fish Sauce/Nam Pla
Cracked black pepper

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except the tomatoes.
Adjust the taste according to your whim.
Add grape tomatoes and mix well.
Chill and serve with a garnish of  sliced key limes and a sprig of cilantro.

Make sure you have more than enough rice in the cooker. This salad really opens up your appetite.
