Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish, so be sure to select ripe, juicy tomatoes that are bursting with flavor. Try to utilize local or organic tomatoes whenever possible
- Don't skip the balsamic reduction: The balsamic reduction is what really takes this dish over the top. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor and complexity that you won't get from store-bought balsamic vinegar. If you have time, make the reduction ahead of time so it has a chance to cool and thicken.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a wonderful burst of flavor to this salad. If you can, use fresh basil, oregano, and thyme. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little balsamic reduction goes a long way, so be careful not to overdo it. You want the tomatoes to be coated in the reduction, but you don't want them to be swimming in it.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The tomatoes will start to wilt if they sit for too long, so enjoy it while it's fresh.
Conclusion:
This sticky balsamic tomato salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh tomatoes. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish. The balsamic reduction adds a wonderful depth of flavor and complexity that takes this dish to the next level. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your home.
