Tomato Salad with Basil image

So few ingredients and so much flavor-as long as the ingredients are of high quality! Omit the basil if you can't find any, but where there are good tomatoes there is probably good basil. Add slices of mozzarella to make this more substantial.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium tomatoes, perfectly ripe
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
Extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Core the tomatoes (cut a cone-shaped wedge out of the stem end) and cut them into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Lay the tomatoes on a platter or 4 individual plates. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
