This incredible salad recipe serves about 6 people so adjust up or
down to your needs.
Dice 6-10 rinsed heirloom tomatoes to any size you like and
place in bowl (we’ll say about ½” and it should be at least 3 cups).
Add fresh, rinsed basil leaves which can be chopped if desired,
approx ½-¾ cup.
Heirloom tomatoes at Lancaster Farmer’s Market
There are at least 3 things we can all agree that we love: summer,
the opportunities it brings to enjoy our outdoor living space, and
food. Since grilling in your backyard is a favorite for many, we
thought we would share an easy way for you to enjoy that even
more. Yes, easy, that’s something we can all enjoy too.
Another highlight of summer harvest is the bright colors, festive
atmosphere, and wholesome, great tasting food at the local farmer’s
markets. Not only are you supporting local agriculture, you just
can’t beat the taste of real fresh food from the garden.
If you’ve not experienced heirloom tomatoes, this is your chance to
discover not only the rainbow of colors, but the different taste
character unique to each one. Be sure to treat yourself to a wide
color spectrum: not just red, but green, yellow, purple, white, and
orange, maybe even zebra like those pictured above. While you’re
there, pick up some fresh basil leaves too.
Now mince 2 garlic cloves and add to mix. Also add a tablespoon
of Balsamic vinegar and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to
the mix. Gently toss and set aside.
Next, cut the loaf of Italian bread lengthwise as if you are making
a sub sandwich with it. Brush or drizzle extra virgin olive oil
lightly on each half and place on your grill with the oiled inside
facing down. Toast it on the grill until golden brown, flip, and
toast the crust to a nice golden brown.
Cut the toasted bread into large croutons about 1” or so and place
in large pan or bowl. Add your tomato mix over the croutons so
they will begin to soak up the juice. Slice the fresh lime in half
and squeeze half the fresh lime over the mix using a circular or
back and forth motion.
Sprinkle with course ground kosher salt and fresh cracked black
pepper to taste. Toss the entire mixture and serve immediately.
This recipe is very easy to make and
can be prepared in about 15 minutes
or so. But don’t let the ease and short
list of ingredients fool you. You’ll feel
like a 5 star restaurant delivery has
been brought to your backyard.
Other things you will need:
Ÿ Italian bread
Ÿ Extra virgin olive oil
Ÿ Fresh lime
Ÿ Course ground kosher salt
Ÿ Pepper mill with black peppercorns
Have a great summer harvest season,
and we hope this recipe helps you
enjoy your backyard even more.
Ÿ Balsamic vinegar (not regular vinegar)
Ÿ Fresh garlic
