Key Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plump, ripe cherry tomatoes form the foundation of this salad.

It's an excellent alternative to another summer classic: tomato and cucumber salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bacon brings a pleasant salty note to the salad and helps make it all the more satisfying while celery seed and nigella bring a deeply aromatic note. To this blend of cherry tomatoes, celery, and herbs, you'll finish the salad off with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as well as a good sprinkling of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
