We all love this salad which is so basic that it shouldn't require a recipe. Yet every time, I search through my cookbooks to find it, just to remind myself of EXACTLY how to do it so it is as awesome as the times before. Thanks to Jamie Oliver!
The Mothership Tomato Salad
2 1/4 pounds mixed ripe tomatoes, of varying sizes, shapes and colours
sea salt and black pepper
dried oregano
red wine or balsamic vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic, peeled and grated
Slice, halve and/or cut up tomatoes into a variety of shapes and place in a colander. Season with a good pinch of sea salt, toss, and season again. Give the colander a couple more tosses and then let it stand over a bowl for around 15 minutes. Disgard the juice.
Transfer tomatoes to a large bowl and sprinkle with dried oregano. Make a dressing of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 oil. Add garlic. Drizzle tomatoes with enough dressing to coat.
You can also toss in some small mozzarella balls or black olives.
