HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD
Method
- To showcase the tomatoes I like to cut the tomatoes into different shapes – some into thick slices, other in half, some in lengths and little ones and whole, it adds texture and variety to your salad
- Drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil and vinegar add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper
- Ideally let the tomatoes sit for 10-30 minutes before serving as this will get the juices flowing
Comments
Sun ripened, soil-grown, sweet tasting tomatoes make for a wonderful salad. However add some Rams Horn, Black Cherry, Sun Gold, Guernsey Island and Money Maker, to name but a few of the impressive array of tomatoes found at the farmers market and you will have a salad to be enthusiastic about!
