This Heirloom Tomato Salad is full of the bright, fresh flavors of summer! Easy to prepare and a real crowd-pleaser.
Author: Alison Needham

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of mixed fresh heirloom tomatoes
  • Maldon salt or other sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove of garlic grated
  • 1 fresh red chile such as a red jalapeno or fresno, seeded and minced
  • handful of fresh basil
  • handful of micro-greens
  • 1 package of fresh mozzarella balls in water drained (I prefer bocconcini)

Instructions

  • Slice some tomatoes in wedges, some in slabs and scatter them decoratively over ⅔ of a platter. Place the mozzarella balls in the rest of the platter. Sprinkle the tomatoes and cheese with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the vinegar, olive oil, oregano and garlic. Drizzle evenly over the tomatoes. Sprinkle the tomatoes and the cheese with the fresh chile, basil and micro-greens. Serve immediately.
