Source of Recipe


Dinosaur


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
Pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of sugar
2 medium cucumbers
1/2 large red onion
30 small fresh basil leaves
Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano


Recipe



Core tomatoes and cut lengthwise into 6 to 8 wedges. Cut each wedge in half crosswise, then place in a big bowl and wake them up with a big pinch of salt, pepper and sugar. Cut off the cucumber ends and use a vegetable peeler to make long stripes in the skin. Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and add to the tomatoes. Peel the onion and cut lengthwise into slivers. Dump the onions in with the tomatoes and cucumbers and give everything a good tossing.

Clean and dry the basil leaves. Stack them on top of one another and then roll lengthwise into a tight cigar. Cut crosswise into thin strips and stir into the salad.

For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl, then pour over the tomatoes and cucumbers. Marinate the salad at room temperature for several hours. Feeds 6.
