Heirloom Tomato Salad
This is a super simple heirloom tomato salad. It has a lovely, sweet, tangy flavor and in peak season they can be eaten fresh without any dressing for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Essentially this is the type of salad you might eat along the Mediterranean coastline throughout summer.
It serves as a reminder that good quality produce is all you need to make a delicious summer salad and a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. There is not much in this salad as the flavor resides in the fruit itself.
Most often we make this salad using ripe tomatoes, but as autumn comes tomatoes ripe at different rates. You can enjoy a mix of red, orange and slightly unripe green tomatoes in early autumn.
