TOMATO SALAD WITH RED ONION & HERBS (GOURMET)
This delicious and easy salad is from Gourmet Magazine (Aug. 1993) and was also printed in their new cookbook. It is great with some fresh, shave Parmesan on top. You can also add cucumbers. If you don't have any shallots, just omit them. This is a great dish to make ahead as the salad is even better the next day when the flavours have had a chance to meld and develop.

- Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad. Use a variety of herbs for a more complex flavor.
- A good quality olive oil is essential for a flavorful salad dressing. Look for an extra virgin olive oil with a fruity, peppery flavor.
