Tomato Salad
1 kg tomatoes ( I prefer Roma , but others are fine too)
1 cup cold pressed Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-3 cloves of fresh garlic
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of black ground pepper corns
1/2-1 table spoon of salt
Shallots (1-2 stalkes)
Parsley (a bunch)
You can repalce with any other herb ( Basil works really well too)
Dice the tomatoes into small squares.
Dice the garlic finely.
The parsley and shallots can be left into bigger pieces, as they give a nice colour against the red.
Put everything together in a bowl and mix.
Add the Olive oil and Lemon juice to the mix.
Season with Black pepper and Salt.
This salad gets better when it sits in the fridge for a few hours before serving , as the flavours will soften and melt together.
A very good dish when feeling rundown and you need a 'pick me up'.
It keeps well in the fridge.
If using store tomatoes, I place them on the window sill to get them to ripen and get a nice deep red colour, before making this salad.
