Heirloom Tomato Salad
Heirloom tomatoes not only have visual appeal, thanks to their varied hues and shapes—they also have unique, delicate flavours that make these gems an absolute delight. They’re a delicious snack just on their own, but to really enhance their flavours, add this simple vinaigrette to bring out every nuance of their taste profile.
Ingredients
1 pint heirloom grape or cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Fresh basil leaves to garnish (sliced thinly)
Directions
Slice larger tomatoes into halves and place in a bowl.
Add olive oil, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper to a jar. Close the lid and shake well to combine.
Pour dressing over tomatoes and toss gently to coat.
