Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference, and transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
Step 3
In a small bowl, prepare the mustard-basil dressing by combining the olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well emulsified.
Step 4
Chop the basil leaves roughly or tear them by hand for a more rustic presentation. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Step 5
Drizzle the mustard-basil dressing over the tomatoes and basil. Gently toss the salad to coat the tomatoes evenly with the dressing.
Step 6
For best results, let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra basil leaves for a fresh touch.
