Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped (optional)
1 cup basil leaves (purple or green)
11/2 lb. heirloom tomatoes, some sliced, some cut into wedges
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
1/2 lemon
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Cook oil, shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots and garlic begin to turn golden, 7-9 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in anchovies, if using (they'll dissolve in the oil quickly), and basil.
  • Toss tomatoes with vinegar and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl. Transfer to a platter and pour warm dressing over. Finely grate lemon zest on top and sprinkle with sea salt.

I didn't like this salad at all. The tomatoes were bland and the dressing was too sour.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a bunch of tomatoes that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It turned out great and I'm so glad I didn't waste the tomatoes.
