About tomato salad
Italian tomato salad is a simple seasonal preparation built around ripe fresh tomatoes. This profile follows the source's base recipe of tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil and salt, without optional vinegar, herbs, alliums or other additions.
The flavour is bright, naturally sweet and savoury, with fruity olive oil enriching the tomatoes while salt draws out their juices.
The salad is glossy and vividly red, with tender tomato flesh surrounded by a loose, fresh-tasting dressing of oil and released juice.
