Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs mixed heirloom tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly shaved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chiffonade
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated into a paste
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions:

  1. Cut the heirloom tomatoes into a variety of shapes—thick wedges for larger fruits and halves for cherry varieties. Place them in a colander over a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let them sit for 5 minutes to remove excess water.
  2. In a small jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, grated garlic, salt, pepper, and honey. Shake vigorously or whisk until the mixture is opaque and thickened.
  3. Transfer the drained tomatoes to a large bowl. Add the shaved red onion and the fresh herb blend.
  4. Pour the dressing over the top and toss very gently using a rubber spatula or your hands. Transfer to a salad platter for presentation.
