This is a simple, colorful summer salad best served at room temperature. Choose the best tomatoes you can, and enjoy the classic pairing of these fruits with a balsamic vinegar dressing.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 medium, vine-ripe red tomatoes
  • 2 medium orange tomatoes
  • 2 medium yellow tomatoes
  • 1 bunch scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

PREPARATION:

Cut each tomato into eight wedges and place in a medium bowl or serving dish. Sprinkle chopped scallions and fresh basil over tomatoes.

Whisk together oil and vinegar, or place in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Drizzle vinaigrette over tomatoes and toss gently.

For best tomato flavor, serve at room temperature.

Serves 6.
