Twice a year there's a this model Airplane show in Lakeland, FL. The food vendor sells the most delicious tomato salad. I couldn't find any recipe close to it on here so I added this one. They used homegrown tomatoes. So finding good quality tomatoes is key. Ingredients:
8 tomatoes, cored and cut into chunks |
2 large garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped |
1/2 cup celery, chopped |
1/4 cup scallions, chopped or 1/4 cup green onion |
1 teaspoon fresh oregano |
1 teaspoon fresh basil, freshly chopped |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. You can substitute fresh basil & oregano with a 1/2 teaspoon dried.
2. Place the tomatoes & chopped veggies in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs (if using). Toss well.
3. Transfer to a serving dish and finish with freshly ground black pepper & salt to taste.
