Stacy Kibler CENTERVILLE OHIO, I came up with this invigorating salad at our weekly pool gatherings with friends. Each of us brings our own meat to grill and a side to share. This dish was definitely a hit.

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Arrange tomatoes on a serving platter. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Drizzle over tomatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and basil. Yield: 6 servings.
