Heirloom Tomato Salad

Diana Rattray
The red, yellow, and orange tomatoes make this stunning salad extra flavorful and beautiful. Feel free to use fresh-from-the-garden red tomatoes to make this salad.

Ingredients:

  • 8 to 10 small tomatoes, a variety of colors if possible
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup diced sweet onion or purple onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil, or 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Preparation:

Cut cores from the tomatoes; slice each tomato into 8 to 10 wedges. Combine with remaining ingredients in a large bowl; toss to blend well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve on salad greens, if desired.
Serves 6 to 8.
