3 |
large garlic cloves |
½ |
cup olive oil |
3 |
pounds assorted heirloom tomatoes |
salt to taste |
|
freshly-ground black pepper to taste |
Step 1 |
Thinly slice garlic and in a small heavy saucepan cook in oil over moderately-low heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer oil with garlic to a glass measuring cup to cool. (Garlic will continue to brown as it cools). |
Step 2 |
Cut tomatoes into wedges and toss together in a serving dish. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with garlic-oil mixture. |
Fresh basil and mozzarella make excellent additions to this simple salad.
