I refuse to give in to the great tomato scare of 08. I went to my local farmer's market today and picked out a bounty of lovely and delicious tomatoes. I plan to make a scrumptious tomato salad from my days back at the Hayes Street Grill. Here is the recipe. For this salad it is best to go to the farmer's market and choose a variety of types of tomatoes.
Summer Tomato Salad
1/2 a pint of red cherry tomatoes
1/ pint yellow pear tomatoes
1 to 2 large heirloom tomatoes
1 large ugly tomato
s&p to taste
Herbed Red Wine Vinaigrette:
As with most recipes, you should play around with this one to your liking. You can add to or completely change what herbs you use as most fresh herbs go well with tomatoes.
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
olive oil to blend
This salad is great by itself or with grilled garlic bread. Enjoy! Salmonella be damned!
