I'm a little surprised I made this...

Not being a huge raw tomato fan, I'm surprised that I made this salad.  However, having purchased cherry tomatoes for pasta salad and then realized that pasta salad wasn't going to work for this week...they needed a home.

This lovely salad accompanied some very savory buttermilk biscuits.  I have wonderful luck with the Smitten Kitchen biscuit recipe.  Not being the sort of person who can leave well enough alone, and having a mild addiction to caramelized onions...I included about half of a caramelized onion.  Very large chunks. I added a little cheese and some rosemary as well.   I really should have photographed the biscuits before I ate them, but that would have required not having a biscuit in both hands.

Recipe:

1/2 pint tomatos
1 large cucumber
1 large yellow pepper
2-3 mint leaves
2-3 stalks green onion

Dressing:
1/3 c balsamic vinegar
1/3 c molasses

Cut the tomatoes into bite sized pieces.  Dice the cucumbers and pepper.  Very finely chop the mint leaves and green onion.  Mix.  (Note: I added garlic - I would not recommend this!)

You can dress in the bowl or provide at service.  If choosing to dress in the bowl, note that the lovely colors will take on a slightly less pleasing brownish hue.  Fine at home, less good if you have company.
