Tomato Salad

This is simplicity itself and a taste of pure heaven as well.

Tomato Salad
  • 2-3 large ripe tomatos
  • 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
Slice the tomatoes, sprinkle liberally with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and leave for at least 10 minutes. I love this on its own, served with at most some crusty bread.
If you want something more substantial you can add:
  • slices of mozzarella
  • cubes of feta cheese
  • crispy bacon bits

Or a combination there of.

I also use this as part of an antipasta plate, adding cold meats, usually salami and bresaola, a handful of olives and some crusty bread smeared with pesto or tapenade.
