Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large heirloom tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the heirloom tomatoes. Use a sharp knife to cut them into a mix of wedges and slices for a rustic presentation. Place the tomatoes in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and sea salt until emulsified. Grate or finely mince the garlic and stir it into the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes and toss gently to ensure the tomatoes are evenly coated.
Roughly tear the basil leaves and chop the parsley. Sprinkle the herbs over the tomatoes.
If using feta cheese, crumble it over the salad for added creaminess and tang.
Finish with a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper. Let the salad marinate for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
