Heirloom Tomato Salad

By CBarile

"This is the tomato salad I make almost every day," Andreas Viestad says. Since he always uses different varieties of tomatoes, the salad tastes different each time.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, cored—large ones sliced 1/4 inch thick, small ones halved
• Salt
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with oil. Scatter the chives, basil and cheese on top.

SERVE WITH Crusty bread.
