When really good local tomatoes are in season, my signature dish is tomato rice arugula feta salad, sometimes with cucumbers added, served at room temperature or cooler, lightly dressed with a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. When I can get them, I particularly like to use brown basmati rice, Brandywine or dry-farmed Early Girl tomato varieties, Bulgarian feta cheese, and arugula varieties that tend toward a spiky leaf shape and a strongly spicy taste. But the salad is also good with less distinguished individual ingredients. I came up with this salad idea, myself, and am quite proud of it. 😊
