Italian Tomato Salad

attachment-2938426812Italian Tomato Salad

This is one of my top go-to’s, I have this at least once a week.  This comes together in minutes and it is a great accompaniment to other sides but is also a great stand-alone side.  I have heard that eating a tomato a day helps combat aging; hello!

Serves 4

4 medium sized tomatoes, sliced

4 to 6 basil leaves, sliced in a chiffonade (ribbons)

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt

Pepper

– Arrange the tomato slices on a platter.

– Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes evenly.

– Season tomatoes with salt and pepper just before serving.

– Top the tomatoes after you season them with the basil.

Notes:

1.  Again, wait until the last minute to season the tomatoes otherwise the salt will make them mushy.

2.  I use every tomato under the sun for this recipe.

3.  In place of basil you can use flat leaf parsley or a combination of both.

4.  Stay away from stronger herbs like oregano and rosemary; they would over power the tomatoes.
