A Tomato salad with warm Basil dressing.
by a tale
TOMATO SALAD
small shallots – 3
olive oil – 100ml
garlic – 2 cloves
the juice of half a lemon
red wine vinegar – a tablespoon
basil leaves – 20
tomatoes, all colours – 800g
Peel and chop the shallots finely. Warm then in a small pan in olive oil. Peel and finely slice the garlic and add it to the softening shallots. Stir the lemon juice in along with the red wine vinegar. Let cool a slightly. Rinse and dry the basil, tear it up and add it to the dressing. Make sure the dressing has cooled a little (you should never get basil to hot). Add the sliced tomatoes and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

I simply love your photography –essential, chiaroscuro, and very well-styled. I also love tomatoes, and I long for those that grow in my grandpa’s garden, the most flavorful I have ever tasted.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing.
