Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb red heirloom tomatoes
1 small purple onion
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 c chives (chopped)
1/4 c fresh dill (roughly chopped + more to taste)
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
4 tbsp capers
chive blossoms (for garnish (optional))
1/2 tsp Fleur de Sel sea salt + more to taste
1 heirloom tomato (peeled)
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
sea salt to taste
5 leaves basil

Steps:

  • Using a very sharp knife slice the tomatoes into small wedges and add them to a serving bowl with the capers.
  • Slice the purple onion into thin strips or rounds and sprinkle on top of the tomatoes. Add the fresh oregano, dill, chives and basil.
  • Drizzle the salad with the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
  • Season with the Fleur the Sel sea salt and gently toss to coat. Allow to macerate at room temperature for 5minutes.
  • Garnish with the chive blossoms and serve promptly with a few extra flakes of Fleur de Sel on top to your taste.
  • OPTIONAL: Add vegan feta cheese on top if you desire, I love the one from Follow Your Heart or you can make your own.
