Ingredients

4 large ripe tomatoes
0.5 medium red onion
0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 cup fresh mozzarella or feta (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the tomatoes. Slice them into wedges or thick rounds, depending on your preference, and place them in a large serving bowl.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the onions to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 3

Stack the basil leaves, roll them into a tight cylinder, and slice thinly to create chiffonade ribbons. Sprinkle the basil over the tomatoes and onions.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

Step 5

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything to coat evenly.

Step 6

If using fresh mozzarella or feta, crumble or tear it into small pieces and scatter it over the salad.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light meal. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.
