A delightful and refreshing salad combining juicy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and a tangy herb dressing.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and thinly slice the onion.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the freshness of the vegetables.
Cube the cheddar cheese into bite-sized pieces.
Chill the cheese before cutting for easier handling and cleaner cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, tarragon, garlic powder, pepper, and salt until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, and cheese in a large bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the cheese cubes.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to control the amount and avoid overdressing.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
