Stacked Tomatoes With Tarragon Infused Oil image

A beautiful beginning to any kick off a Dinner Party. Using gorgeous summer heirloom tomatoes. A mandolin is perfect to slice the vegetables in this but a good sharp knife will do the trick. Store bought Black Olive Tapenade is OK but is better home made so do take a look at recipes on zaar. Serve with a fresh loaf of crusty bread.

I found the tarragon oil to be a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll use less of it.

A bit bland for my taste.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and the tarragon oil really brought out their flavor. Will definitely make this again.
