Marinated Tomato Salad: Dr. Weil's Recipe of the Day

Marinated Tomato Salad

1 Serving

This is a very easy side salad that goes well with any main dish, but particularly with pastas or curries. The taste will depend almost entirely on the quality of the tomatoes, so pick vine ripened or plum tomatoes, preferably organic. Use your best olive oil for this salad.

Start to finish: 10minutes

Ingredients
1 large tomato, preferably organic
1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh basil (optional)

Instructions
Make the dressing by mixing the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and honey. Dice the tomato and toss it with the dressing. Chop the basil leaves if you're using them, and fold them in. Let the salad rest for a half hour or so, if you can, to let the flavors blend.
