Recipe from Everyday Italian . I made this recipe with only cherry tomatoes and just tossed everything together with the dressing. Easy and good. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon) |
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more to taste |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 1/4 lbs tomatoes, assorted (such as regular vine-ripened tomatoes, plum tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and yellow tea) |
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, drained and sliced |
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Whisk the lemon juice, 1/2 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil to blend. Set the dressing aside.
2. Cut the regular tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices, and the plum tomatoes into wedges. Cut the cherry, grape, and teardrop tomatoes in half. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle the dressing over. Sprinkle with the basil and additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
