Directions
Combine salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Set aside.
Wash tomatoes and place in a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and process until the almonds are smooth and the rest of the ingredients have been well blended.
Check the seasoning.
Place in a glass jar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Toss prepared salad with dressing.
You may not need to use it all.
Serve with lots of fresh Italian home-made bread for a refreshing main dish salad in the summer.
VARIATION: Substitute pine nuts for the walnuts in the salad.
Add a couple of mushrooms if so desired.
