One of my Favorite Snacks: Tomatoes with Provolone

in #food7 years ago

When I was a young boy I absolutely hated tomatoes! I wouldn't eat anything that had chunks of tomatoes except for salsa. When I did eat salsa I made sure there were no tomato chunks!

Boy times sure have changed

Now I cannot get enough tomatoes. I did not think just a few years later my palate would change so much and that I would love maters! Whenever I have the options for adding a tomato, whether a sandwich or hamburger, the answer is always yes!

Sometimes I makeshift my own little appetizer and today was one of those occasions!

Tomatoes with Provolone

This is a quick snack that is extremely flavorful and healthy. There are only a few ingredients:

  • Grape Tomatoes (of course)
  • Provolone Cheese (duh!)
  • Olive Basil
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Pepper
  • Salt

The way I make them is pretty darn easy! Basically, I just layer the ingredients on top of each other!

1. Slice the tomatoes in half

2. Add small pieces of Provolone cheese to the top of the tomatoes

3. Drizzle Olive Oil on top

4. Drizzle Balsamic Vinegar now

5. Sprinkle Salt and Pepper to taste

6. Enjoy The Snack

7. Make a happy plate

Sort:  

it is simply tomatoes with cheese, guess the rumors are true: even wood is edible with cheese.

I would try it! Cheese seems to make everything better

So simple, yet so tasty! I know how you feel - I use to hate some types of food, and now I love it... I'll maybe hate it again haha :)

Yes! It really is easy to make and always tastes delicious!

Olives are one of those foods for me! I used to eat them nonstop as a kid!

Now I can't stand them! I do love olive oil though! haha

Definitely avocado toast! Although I actually usually put it on a dark pumpernickel kind of German bread. Mash up that avocado, add lots of lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg and some (possibly vegan) mayo if you are feeing creamy! YUM!

That sounds delish! I love avocados!

I need to make this soon (hold the mayo though)

I was the exact same way with tomatos when I was younger. Now I love them. Never had them lime you made with provolone. Looks amazing

Try it out! You won't be dissapointed!

It is funny how are palates change over the years!

Nice. Looks really tasty. Nothing better than the combination of tomato and salt . The vinegar and cheese must make it so much better.

You are correct about that! Just tomatoes and salt are delicious! Add vinegar, cheese, and pepper and it takes it to a new level. I wish I had some basil
