Provided by Miri Rotkovitz

Categories     Side Dish     Lunch     Dinner     Salad

Time 8m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

24 ounces cherry, plum, or hot house tomatoes (or other variety of ripe tomato)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano , optional)
1 teaspoon fresh basil (chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, optional)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Slice the tomatoes in half and, if using plum or larger tomatoes, core them to remove the seeds . Chop the tomatoes into chunks (whatever size you desire). If using grape, cherry, or another small tomato, cut in half so they will absorb the flavors of the dressing. There's no need to seed them.
  • Place the chopped tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs (if using). Toss well.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Or plate the salad individually for your guests and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano or basil.

  • First, fill a small bowl with ice water and add the chopped red onion (soaking the onion will tame its intense flavor and make it more crisp). Set aside as you prep the remaining ingredients.
  • To assemble the salad, spread the tomato wedges over a large serving platter. Drain the onions well, and layer about one-third of the onions on top. Add half of the cherry tomatoes, followed by a layer of any optional additions, followed by another one-third of the onions. Finish with the remaining cherry tomatoes, followed by the remaining onions, and sprinkle the basil all over.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the salad, followed by the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the salt and several twists of black pepper on top. Serve promptly. This salad is best consumed within a couple of hours, but leftover salad will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 3 days.
