Classic tomato salad with a twist

No ratings yet

Store tomatoes — stem end down according to some experts — in a cool, dark place, but preferably not the refrigerator. Tomatoes loose flavour if stored in very cold conditions. Five medium-sized tomatoes weigh about 500 grams and will fill about two cups when skinned and diced.

Gremolata topping

4 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
1 Lemon, large, finely grated rind
2 Garlic cloves, crushed

Salad

200 g Mozzarella cheese, or brocconccini, fresh
3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp Basil leaves, finely sliced
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
500 g Tomatoes, medium, ripe

Directions

  1. Combine the ingredients for the Gremolata and place aside.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the mozzarella in a bowl. Sprinkle with the olive oil, basil, garlic and black pepper. Stand for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavours.
  3. Slice the tomatoes and layer in a flat serving dish in rows alternately with the cheese. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste. Sprinkle extra basil for garnish.
  4. Serve lightly chilled as a light meal with crusty bread or as an accompaniment to cold meats.
