Final Thursday Recipe Swap Meet ~ Tomato and Olive Salad

.

Unfortunately, due to time restraints and the many things that have been going on in both mine and Dolly's lives, I'm sorry to say that we will have to discontinue our Recipe Swap Meet on Thursdays.... AAWWW!! (This doesn't mean I won't on occasion share a recipe that I find is wonderful and share it with you fabulous people, because you know that I lubs you all!!)

As for those of you that have been so wonderful each week and left comments and your own recipes, please let me say: THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Without your support, we would not have been as successful and found so many delicious recipes.

So for my final recipe, I want to share one of my favorite summertime recipes that you can use the last of your summer tomatoes in:

Tomato and Olive Salad

2 -3 ripe tomatoes cut into cubes (I like either beefsteak or on the vine)
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese cut into cubes
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives (Lindsay are my favorite)
1/2 cup sliced pitted black olives (again Lindsay are the best tasting)
1/2 cup pimento stuffed queen size green Spanish olives (have to go with Lindsay on this one too)
1/2 cup Hormel pepperoni minis (I have fallen in love with these little bite size pieces)
Pepper and Garlic Salt to taste
EVOO and balsamic vinegar to taste

~ Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and enjoy, either at room temperature or slightly chilled.

This received mixed puppy tail wags... depending what part of the salad they got. Pepperoni: 6 wags; cheese: 6 wags; olives: 0 wags; tomatoes: 2 wags (Mumbo and Maila will eat just about anything).

Thank you all so much again, for all your support with mine and Dolly's meme. We wish you all much happiness, good health and good eats - or as Dolly would say... Nummers!!

Please know that you  can hook up with our friend and constant supporter over at Time 2 Eat Yall - her blog is all about "everything food: recipes, reviews, giveaways, tips."

Bon Appetit, my friends!!
