If you have been following my blog, you have realized that this is not just about GF and kosher, but that most of the recipes are frugal. We, like most people I know, are living on a budget. I also hate to throw away any food that is still good to be used. So, here is another tomato salad that is so simple to make that really, you have to try hard to srew this one up, and very versatile. It uses very basic ingredients you get in any shop (nothing needs to be special GF, except you have to be careful with the vinegar) and is a very tasty way to use up those left over tomatoes. It goes well with grilled meat or as a starter.
2 Tomatoes (per person)
Balsamic vinegar to taste (any other vinegar works too - I personally like the milder white Balsamic vinegar)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
some spring onions or chives (optional)
Cut tomatoes into slices about 1/2 cm thick. Spread slices out in a neat circle around the edge of a bowl, with a few in the middle. Sprinkle some olive oil onto the tomatoes; making sure that it covers all of them, then sprinkle the vinegar on top (easy on the vinegar). Season with salt and peppers. Slice up some green onions or chives into small pieces, and sprinkle them over the tomatoes. You can serve it straight away, but you can also refrigerate it. It is nice if served slightly chilled.
You could also mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl (best with a small whisk) until combined and then pour this over the tomatoes.
Variations:
Add some mozzarella cheese and basil, but leave out the spring onions/chives
Or exchange the spring onions/chives for onions (half the onion then slice it thinly into half circles) and avocado.
