I just love the flavors of puttanesca!

Can't wait to try this one of Rachel Ray's (I re-wrote the directions).

Tomato Puttanesca Salad (Rachel Ray)

Salad ingredients:

4 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons capers
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
6 anchovies (1 tin of flat filets), chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls, coarsely chopped


Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Chiffonade 12 to 15 fresh basil leaves (pile the leaves, roll into a log and thinly slice)

Salt and black pepper


Combine salad ingredients in a bowl.

Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the salad, 1 to 2 tablespoons.

Add basil, salt and pepper, toss again and adjust seasonings, to your taste.

Um, well not sure about anchovies but the rest sounds good, LOL. Maybe sardines in a can?

Geez, it only took 9 years, but I finally got around to making this!

Delicious!

I used rolled anchovies instead of flat, but otherwise made as written. My two friends loved it, too!

Looks great. No vinegar in the recipe? I ask because my regular tomato salad doesn’t have vinegar either but most do.

Nope, no vinegar.

My regular tomato-herb salad doesn't have vinegar in it, either.

I DO sprinkle a few drops of balsamic on fresh sliced tomatoes, though.

Glad you tried and liked it, Peep! And your family did, too?

Good for them!
