The early fresh tomatoes are now in local Farmers' Markets and neighbourhood gardens. And sometimes the most simple dishes can be the most savoury and appreciated.Take this tomato salad for example.
Simply cut two whole tomatoes into large pieces. Add slivers of green pepper, cucumber and red onions. Dress with capers, salt, pepper and drizzle with a top quality extra virgin olive oil. The garnish shown here is fresh cilantro.
Give the salad about 10 minutes for the salt to draw out the natural flavours and serve at room temperature.
Add a slice or crumble of fresh feta cheese, a few olives and a spritz of balsamic vinegar if you wish for a more traditional Greek salad.
If you have a variety of tomatoes and can include one of yellow or orange colour, you will have a salad as eye appealing as it is
delicious.
Deliver it with a dry white wine and a crusty loaf for a full course.
