Tommy Toe Salad
Source: Cooking Southern, Vegetarian Style, by Ann Jackson. (Entered by Janice Matthews)Sometimes the simplest recipes are the most delicious. This one has been a classic in the American South for at least a century. However, as I northerner by birth, I had to be introduced to it through Ann Jackson’s excellent cookbook. It’s now one of our family’s favorite ways to use red and yellow cherry tomatoes (which, as any kid knows, are “tommy toes”!).
Serves: 4-6
Vegetarian!
Ingredients
about 2 cups
yellow, red or mixed cherry tomatoes
1 medium
red onion, thinly sliced
4 ears
corn, cooked and cut off cob
1
green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup
parsley, chopped
1/3 cup
your favorite salad dressing
about 10
black olives (optional)
Step by Step Instructions
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Add the rest of the ingredients, and cover with dressing. Toss together gently. Taste and see if you think it requires any more salt and pepper (it probably won't.) Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

This is also good using green scallions or walking onions, and cilantro instead of parsley.
