Ingredients
To blanch and peel tomatoes
- 6 tomatoes medium
- ice water
For the Salad
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- ⅛ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground optional
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil cold pressed preferred
- few basil fresh
Instructions
- Rinse tomatoes to get rid of impurities.
- To peel the tomatoes, keep a pot with water to boil and place fresh tomatoes in for 30–60 seconds, or until the skin shows some cracks. This is called blanching.
- Take out the tomatoes and place them into a bowl with ice cubes and icy water to stop the cooking process immediately. That way the tomatoes will cool off fast too.
- Peel tomatoes with your fingers. The skin should come off easily now.
- Cut peeled tomatoes into slices or quarter them.
- Place tomatoes into a serving bowl or plate. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, olive oil, and freshly chopped basil leaves over that.
- You can mix it up, but the tomatoes might get a bit mushy. Otherwise, just serve at room temperature or cooled.

Notes
- If you use store-bought tomatoes, which might be treated with pesticides, I recommend that you place them into a large bowl with water and a dash of vinegar or a tablespoon of citric acid. Both, vinegar and citric acid won't harm your health but take off all pesticides from your tomatoes. It comes clean off the tomato skin.
- If you use larger tomatoes, cut them smaller or to your preferred size. It's easier to eat bite-sized pieces.
