TOMATO SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND FETA
Peak summer eating doesn't get much easier than this fresh tomato salad. Ripe, in-season tomatoes are best, but if they are not in their prime, the simple technique of salting them first will draw out maximum flavor. Roasted nuts and seeds are excellent pantry items and make a perfect no-cook, savory-sweet crisp topping. The nut-seed-spice mixture is completely flexible; use what you have on hand, and add aromatic seeds like nigella or fennel if you like. The store-bought granola is optional, but it adds a surprising sweetness and even more crunch. (Opt for one that is as plain as possible and without dried fruits or chocolate.) Make extra topping and keep it in an airtight jar for sprinkling over salads and roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Place tomatoes into a large bowl and add the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss the tomatoes so that everything is evenly coated. Let the tomatoes sit for about 10 minutes. (The salt will draw out flavor from the tomatoes.)
- Meanwhile make the topping: Combine the sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds, pistachios, granola if using, sesame seeds, chile powder and salt. Toss to combine. Season with a few turns of black pepper and stir everything together.
- Add the chickpeas, feta, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to the tomatoes and toss to combine. Taste and adjust olive oil, salt and pepper to your liking. Tear up basil leaves and sprinkle on top.
- To serve, transfer tomatoes to a serving platter or individual bowls. When you are ready to eat, sprinkle with the crisp topping.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad, so be sure to use the best tomatoes you can find. Look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and feel heavy for their size.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a wonderful flavor to this salad. If you can, use herbs that you have grown yourself or that you have purchased from a farmers market.
- Toast the pistachios: Toasting the pistachios brings out their nutty flavor and makes them even more delicious. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will also make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season the salad to taste: Be sure to taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
Conclusion:
This tomato salad with pistachios is a delicious and refreshing summer salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a surplus of tomatoes, give this salad a try!
