Any combination of tomatoes will work in this salad. Olive pâté comes in tubes or jars and can be found with the condiments or in the ethnic-foods section of your supermarket.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon olive pâté (such as alessi)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 garlic clove, crushed

6 cups gourmet salad greens

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices green tomato, halved

12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices yellow tomato, halved

12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices red tomato, halved

Directions:

1. To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.
2. To prepare salad, place the greens on a platter. Sprinkle half of onion and half of basil evenly over greens. Arrange tomato slice halves over basil. Top with the remaining onion and basil. Drizzle evenly with the vinaigrette.
