Marinade Dressing- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (adjust sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (adjust sweetness)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and remove their stems. Then, using a serrated knife (like a bread knife), make a shallow cross-shaped cut at the top of each tomato. This step will make peeling much easier.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the cherry tomatoes with the cuts and blanch them for about 10-20 seconds, just until the skins start to loosen. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking and cool them down. Once cooled, gently peel the skins starting from the cut. Drain the peeled tomatoes lightly.
Step 3
Finely slice or mince the onion. Dice the bell pepper into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oligosaccharide, and dried basil. Whisk everything together to create a flavorful marinade dressing. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less oligosaccharide.
Step 4
Arrange the baby greens attractively on a serving plate or in a salad bowl. Place the peeled cherry tomatoes over the greens. Drizzle the prepared marinade dressing evenly over the tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of crunchy almonds on top. Your delicious and nutritious cherry tomato marinade salad is now ready to enjoy!
