Salade De Tomates- Tomato & Basil Salad

June 24

Tomatoes in season are one of natures true gifts and although there are many ways to enjoy them, for me freshly sliced and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and garnished with a few herbs from the garden is the best.  There are many varieties of tomatoes to choose from and for a salad like this which really celebrates them, try and choose a variety.  I use basil leaves here but thyme or oregano work just as well.  Serve as simple summer salad or as a side dish to grilled meats and fish.

    If you prepare the tomatoes ahead of time, only season just before you are ready to serve as the salt with draw out the liquid in the tomatoes.
