HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND HERB SALAD



Heirloom Tomato and Herb Salad image

This salad brings out the best in seasonal produce and fresh herbs. A simple drizzle of olive oil and white balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper make the natural flavors shine.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds heirloom tomatoes (small ones halved, large ones sliced or cut into wedges)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
1 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, mint, and dill

Steps:

  • Arrange tomatoes on a platter. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with oil. Drizzle herbs with oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Sprinkle herbs over tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overpower the flavor of the tomatoes and herbs.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The tomatoes will start to release their juices and the salad will become watery if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This simple tomato herb salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or light lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of tomatoes, herbs, and dressings to find your perfect combination. Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad!
