Description

This recipe celebrates the delicious freshness of tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1-½  To 2 Pounds Heirloom Tomatoes (of Different Color And Variety)
  • Kosher Salt
  • 1 bunch Green Onions, Sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Dried Oregano, Ground In Your Palm
  • Fresh Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste

Preparation

Wash and remove stems of tomatoes. Slice tomatoes into halves, quarters or eighths depending on the size of the tomato and toss into a colander set over a large bowl. Generously sprinkle kosher salt over tomatoes, gently toss and let sit for 20 minutes. The salt not only removes some extra water from the tomatoes but also seasons them nicely.

In another bowl combine the sliced green onions and garlic. In a measuring cup, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and oregano. Whisk until combined and pour over salted tomatoes. Toss, season with fresh cracked black pepper and serve!

This can also be chilled until ready to serve!

This Tomato salad is definitely a keeper. My husband and I just enjoyed it while eating our grilled chicken and it was so yummy.

Delicious and tangy! I really liked that this recipe doesn’t drown the tomatoes in dressing like some do, it was nice to let the tomatoes shine with just the right amount of liquid and seasoning on them.
