Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs multi-colored heirloom tomatoes
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 oz crumbled Feta cheese

Instructions:

  1. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into uniform wedges and arrange them on a platter.
  2. Sprinkle half of the flaky sea salt over the tomatoes and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture and concentrate flavor.
  3. In a small jar or bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, finely grated garlic, and black pepper.
  4. Whisk vigorously or shake the dressing until the mixture is opaque and emulsified.
  5. Gently blot the excess liquid from the tomatoes using a paper towel without rinsing.
  6. Drizzle the emulsified dressing over the tomatoes and toss gently by hand to avoid bruising the flesh.
  7. Fold in the hand-torn basil leaves.
  8. Top the salad with crumbled Feta cheese and finish with the remaining sea salt.
