Ingredients
- 3 lbs heirloom tomatoes (ideally chilled for 1–2 hours just before serving)
For the Dressing
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar (you can substitute rice vinegar or champagne vinegar)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ⅛ tsp dried basil (if you use fresh, triple the amount)
- ⅛ tsp dried parsley (if you use fresh, triple the amount)
- ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- ¼ tsp sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- In a small mason jar, combine the dressing ingredients: 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 clove garlic (I use a garlic press), ⅛ tsp dried basil, ⅛ tsp dried parsley, ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper, ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and ¼ tsp sugar. Close the lid and shake well to emulsify.
- Core 3 lbs heirloom tomatoes and cut them into wedges, then cut the wedges in half or thirds. Put them in a large serving bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and toss everything together. If you did not chill the tomatoes ahead of time, you can put the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you make this salad ahead, the olive oil in the dressing may solidify in the fridge. Take out the salad 30 minutes prior to serving, so the oil will become liquid. Toss the tomatoes in the bowl again before serving.
