Heirloom Tomato Salad (Zucchi's Tomato Salad)
This heirloom tomato salad is the easiest and most delicious summer dish. My grandma, Zucchi, makes this all the time and it is the perfect easy lunch.
Ingredients
- 3 Heirloom tomatoes thinly sliced, or sliced to your preference
- ⅛ Vidalia onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 5 to 10 leaves fresh basil garnish
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes and onions as thin or as thick as you like.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a large plate or serving platter. Place the pieces of sliced onion on top and in between the tomatoes.
- Drizzle half of the oil over the tomatoes, along with the salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Crush the dried oregano between your fingers to make the oils come out. Let the tomatoes sit for at least 15 minutes or until ready to eat.
- Then, add the remaining oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh basil leaves right before serving.
- You can enjoy right away or place in the fridge until you are ready to eat. Serve with crusty bread if desired.
