"nice change for a salad. after reading the reviews about it being too oily, here are my suggestions. first, mix the vinegar, sugar and oregano in a bowl. i measured a 1/4 cup of olive oil and only ..." See moredrizzled it into the vinegar while whisking. when the consistency looks good to you, taste test it and then add either more oil or a splash or 2 more vinegar. I did not use the full 1/4 cup of oil, but that is my personal preference. then add salt & pepper if you like. also, many reviews talked about there being too much dressing and the salad is just sitting in it. once the tomatoes sit in the refrigerator, they release juices...this causes there to be more liquid in the bottom of the bowl, you will have some liquid even if you use a very small amount of dressing. this recipe really is a 5 star for taste, however, due to the instructions i give it a 4."

"Delicious! Everyone that tried this has loved it. I used grape tomatoes and ¾ cup of green olives instead of 1 cup. This was very easy to prepare. It is also something delicious to make the night ..." See morebefore company arrives because it tastes even better the next day after all of the juices marinate! Oh, I also didn’t add the pine nuts until just before serving because I didn’t want them to get soggy while it marinated overnight. Great recipe, I will be making this one again!!!"
