Procedure
The steps to follow for a good tomato salad are few and simple, read the complete recipe with all the tips.
The first trick for a good salad is to wash it well in cold water and once clean, let it rest for a few hours in a bowl immersed in water. Let the bowl with the salad rest in the refrigerator until it is used.
Now that the salad is fresh and crunchy, you just have to cut it into strips or separate the leaves.
For a more intense flavor, you can use escarole instead of classic lettuce or add some basil leaves to the salad.
Now you just have to cut the tomatoes into wedges or slices, I recommend using ripe oxheart slices. If you can’t find those, you can also use capone wedges.
Now that the ingredients are ready, all you have to do is mix salad and tomatoes, season with oil and salt, and place in the bowl.
Your tomato salad is ready!
Plating tips:
I recommend placing the salad on individual plates and completing the dish as you like, I really enjoy adding buffalo ricotta or stracciatella. With this addition, the final taste of the dish is very rich and creamy.
Wine pairing for tomato salad:
This summer recipe goes very well with a dry white wine such as a Fiano D’Avellino.
