Sliced Tomato "Salad"

Based on this source

Ingredients:
3-4 large tomatoes, sliced
salt
pepper
parmesan cheese
dressing:
     2 tbsp olive oil
     2 tbsp white wine vinegar (or red wine, or apple cider)
     1 tbsp thinly sliced green onion or fresh chives
     2 tsp snipped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
     1 tsp sugar
     1/2 tsp dijon-style mustard (I used honey mustard, because it's what we keep on hand)
     1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small container - shake well.

2. Arrange tomato slices on platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with dressing, and top with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes: We love fresh tomatoes from our garden so much that we often eat plain slices of them as a side dish for dinner or lunch. Sometimes we wanted to dress them up a little though, so we served them this way. Still light and simple, but dimensional.

  1. We used to have plain sliced tomatoes as a side growing up. I think Gregg thought we were weird when he first saw that. :) But I like this idea for a simple dressing to go on top. I'll have to try it when I have fresh tomatoes again.
