Recipe Introduction


If you're packing a picnic, assemble this salad right in the container you'll transport it in; otherwise, layer it on a serving platter.





List of Ingredients



• 3 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
  
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 3 pounds mixed firm-ripe heirloom or other tomatoes
  
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
  
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  
• Salt and cracked black pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil. Rinse and core tomatoes and slice 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Arrange in layers in an airtight container or on a serving dish, drizzling vinegar mixture and sprinkling mint, basil, salt, and pepper evenly over each layer.
   
2. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
