This simple, delicious salad makes the most of summer's best ingredients. Take a trip to a farmer’s market and buy the most colourful tomatoes possible.

Ingredients

Fresh tomato(es)

2 large, 1 red and 1 yellow, heirloom or beefsteak, thinly sliced

Uncooked onion(s)

¼ cup(s), sweet variety, very thinly sliced

Olive oil

4 tsp(s), extra virgin

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ pinch, freshly ground, or to taste

Fresh oregano

½ tbsp(s), chopped, or 1/4 tsp dried oregano

Basil

20 tbsp(s), fresh, or less to taste

Instructions

  1. To make each salad, arrange 1/4 of tomato slices on a salad plate and top with1/4 of onions. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; crumble a pinch of oregano over top.
  2. Let stand at room temperature at least 10 minutes for flavours to develop. Just before serving, tuck about 5 basil leaves under the tomatoes. Yields 1 salad per serving.

Notes

Be sure to use only ripe—bursting with flavour—tomatoes. If you can't find them (or it’s not peak tomato season), use halved grape tomatoes.Turn this salad into a main meal: add some sliced fresh mozzarella or bocconcini and serve over a bed of arugula (will affect SmartPoints® values).
