Heirloom And Cherry Tomato Salad
Ingredients
- 1/2 pt assorted cherry tomatoes
- 2 lb heirloom tomatoes different colors and sizes
- 1 x shallot diced fine
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 x garlic clove smashed Salt to taste
- 1/2 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste Green and purple basil leaves minced Lemon cucumber slices (optional) Torpedo onion slices (optional)
Directions
- Stem the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Core the larger tomatoes and cut them into slices or possibly wedges.
- For the vinaigrette, macerate the shallot in the vinegar with the garlic and a little salt. Whisk in the oil. Taste and adjust the acidity and salt as necessary.
- Put the tomatoes in a shallow salad bowl or possibly on a platter. Season with salt and pepper, strew on the minced basil leaves, and carefully dress with the vinaigrette.
- Thin slices of peeled lemon cucumber and torpedo onion are wonderful additions to the salad.
- For a more elegant tomato salad, slice perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes and arrange them on a platter. Season with salt and pepper, a splash of good Champagne, and a generous drizzle or possibly extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil.
