Make sure that the tomatoes are fresh vine-ripened tomatoes--they make all the difference in the world. A delicious and quick summer salad using fresh ingredients. For the garlic infused olive oil, I used the olive oil from Juenessa's Recipe #221637.

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large ripe tomatoes (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
1 large red onion, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
5 tablespoons olive oil or a mixture of olive oil and vegetable oil (safflower or corn oil)
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes horizontally into 1/4-inch slices. (Remember that a sharp blade is required to slice very ripe tomatoes.) Arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, on a large oval or round gratin dish.
  • Cut the peeled onion into 1/8-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into rings and arrange over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, vinegar and oil, coating the whole surface as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the shredded basil on top and serve at room temperature. This goes well with a crunchy, crusty French bread.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes.
  • Choose a sweet onion, such as a Vidalia or Walla Walla.
  • Use fresh basil, if possible. Dried basil can be used, but it will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, toss the tomatoes and onions with the dressing and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Add the basil just before serving.

Conclusion:

This simple salad is a great way to enjoy fresh, summer produce. The sweet tomatoes, crisp onions, and fragrant basil are a perfect combination. The balsamic vinegar dressing adds a touch of tanginess and sweetness. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
