This is the perfect time to get the freshest tomatoes possible, so it's also the perfect time to load up on tasty summer tomato salads. They're very easy to make, very low in fat and packed with vitamins. Here's a nice recipe I put together for dinner a few nights ago.Ingredients;
4 large assorted heirloom tomatoes, sliced thin
1/4 cup of halved and pitted kalamata olives
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Mozzarella cheese, grated (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs of chopped fresh basil
Raspberry balsamic vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Arrange the assorted tomato slices onto individual serving plates. Place kalamata olives, (if using )Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the raspberry balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil over the top. Serve this fresh salad with your favorite main dish, or you can enjoy it as a main dish for a light lunch.
Good afternoon, dear Lydia,
ReplyDeleteI love sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with a good vinaigrette and have it at least once a week during summer time. Thank you for the recipe with grated cheese, I will try that, too.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday,
Eva
