Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 2 tbsp ( 30 mL) olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
- 1 tbsp ( 15 mL) balsamic vinegar
- pinches of salt and freshly ground black pepper
- sprinkling of coarsely chopped fresh basil
When pale red tomatoes of winter give way to local hothouse tomatoes, celebrate with a simple tomato salad. Balsamic vinegar is aged much like wine and its smooth flavor will bring out the full taste of the tomatoes.
- Slice tomatoes about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Arrange on a shallow plate, overlapping slices slightly.
- Whisk oil with vinegar, salt and pepper. Just before serving, drizzle over tomatoes and sprinkle with basil.
- This salad is wonderful served with grilled chicken or fish. To make it more substantial, crumble feta or goat cheese overtop, or sprinkle with Parmesan.
