Instructions
- Cut and arrange the tomatoes and add to a bowl. Add the onion, oregano, salt and pepper and then pour over the oil and vinegar. Stir gently and then cover and leave for an hour or so to marinade.
- Decant to a serving platter and serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- Heirloom tomato salad is a versatile dish to make at home. There are so many variations to try where you can mix and match flavours for infinite results.
- Onion varieties - Try white onion, spring onion (scallions) or Shallots.
- Fresh herbs - Experiment with YOUR favourite herb. I'll often use tarragon, basil, chives, marjoram, thyme, parsley and dill.
- Vinegar - I use whatever vinegars I have at home. Recent favourites included Champagne, sherry, verjus, pomegranate and rice vinegar.
- Oil - For Chinese, Korean or Japanese pairings, I'll add a teaspoon of sesame oil.
- Cheese - My favourites are Feta, Goats Cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, Buffalo Mozzarella or Burrata, Blue Cheese and Spanish Manchego.
- Olives - A few green or black olives are great scattered into the salad. Capers also work well.
- Nuts - One of my favourite salad enhancers is nuts. I'll dry fry (or lightly fry in oil) some unsalted nuts like cashews, pistachio, pine nuts or slivered almonds. I chop them roughly and scatter over just before serving. Try sunflower seeds too.
- Oil enhancers - Often I'll flavour my oil with something extra like garlic puree, mashed anchovies or lemon juice.
