1-2 Tbsp good red wine vinegar
Method
To showcase the tomatoes I like to cut the tomatoes into different shapes – some into thick slices, other in half, some in lengths and little ones and whole, it adds texture and variety to your salad.
Drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil and vinegar add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Ideally let the tomatoes sit for 10-30 minutes before serving as this will get the juices flowing.

Comments
Sun ripened, soil-grown, sweet tasting tomatoes make for a wonderful salad. However add some Rams Horn, Black Cherry, Sun Gold, Guernsey Island and Money Maker, to name but a few of the impressive array of tomatoes found at the farmers market and you will have a salad to be enthusiastic about!Click here to download a printable version of this recipe
