The jewel-like colors of this simple tomato salad make it especially appealing. Use the ripe, flavorful tomatoes of mid- to late-summer for best results.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lush summer tomatoes (use a variety of red, yellow, and heirloom; mix in some cherry or grape tomatoes if you'd like)
- ¼ to ½ cup minced red onion (optional; if you like raw onion!)
- 3 tablespoons chopped oregano leaves
- 2 teaspoons French thyme or lemon thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Splash of lemon or lime juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into dice no larger than ½ inch — even smaller if they're firm, and you have the patience.
- Combine the tomatoes in a serving bowl with the remaining ingredients and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
