Description
A quick and easy salad that highlights the gems late summer has to offer.
Ingredients
3 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
8–10 black mission figs, sliced into thirds lengthwise
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup basil
Extra virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Arrange tomatoes flat on a large serving plate.
Top with figs, goat cheese, and basil.
Drizzle with olive oil and top with salt and pepper to taste. (I like to make sure all visible surfaces have gotten a little bit of both S&P.)
Notes
Buy a variety of heirloom tomatoes for a salad that’s bursting with color.
Don’t worry about the appearance of heirloom tomatoes – cracks and deformities don’t mean a thing! In fact, some farmer’s markets will even discount the ugliest ones.
