Fresh Tomato Salad

This is the best!  This is one recipe that has been handed down through the generations.  My Nona (grandmother) brought from Piana degli Albanesi, Sicily.   It's quick, easy & delish.  The best tomatoes are, of course, fresh from the garden.  But, that can sometimes be difficult.  Try to buy vine ripen tomatoes, or if you go to the local farmers market they will have a better selection of locally grown tomatoes.






4 Vine Ripened Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper

Vinaigrette Dressing
Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar
Basil
Garlic minced

Wash and cut tomatoes into wedges.  Add Olive Oil & vinegar.   Add minced garlic and top with Fresh chopped basil.

A good rule of thumb for your dressing - Use about 2 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar.  I've also tried store bought balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  Both are good.



This is a "to your taste"  recipe.
