My mom sent me this recipe a few weeks ago and just in time as I had a large quantity of fresh tomatoes to use, and I was running out of ideas. It is simple and delicious. The salad serves two, but could easily be doubled. Ingredients:
1 medium tomato, cut into 6 slices |
1/2 cup chopped cucumber |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley, chopped fine |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (no other) |
Directions:
1. Place tomato on two plates and put cucumber on top. Sprinkle with salt.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk.
3. Drizzle over tomato and cucumber.
4. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
5. You might try other fresh herbs to see what else might work for your taste.
