A refreshing and colorful heirloom tomato salad, perfect for any occasion.
Slice the heirloom tomatoes into a variety of shapes and sizes for visual appeal.
Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts on the tomatoes.
Place the sliced tomatoes in a colander and sprinkle with sea salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes to release excess moisture.
This step enhances the tomatoes' natural sweetness.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed.
Arrange the salted tomatoes on a serving platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
Gently toss the salad to ensure even coating of the dressing.
Garnish with fresh oregano and basil leaves before serving.
Add edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
