When tomatoes are ripe and in season, this is the only salad you need. Thick slices of tomato, torn basil, good olive oil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It takes about 3 minutes to put together and lets the quality of the ingredients speak entirely for themselves.
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp 4 star balsamic vinegar
- ¼ tsp flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Arrange the tomato slices on a plate or platter.
- Scatter the torn basil over the top.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Finish with flaky salt and freshly ground pepper.
Notes
- This salad is only as good as your tomatoes. Use the ripest ones you can find.
- Add sliced fresh mozzarella for a classic Caprese salad.
- A drizzle of honey on top balances the acidity beautifully.
