Garden Fresh Tomato Basil Salad


There's just nothing better than garden fresh tomatoes and it's that time of year when they should be plentiful. Here's a quick and easy salad that will surely please all the tomato lovers in your family and help to get some of those tomatoes off the kitchen counter. All you need is a little fresh basil, fresh garlic, thinly sliced red onions, fresh ground black pepper, extra virgin olive oil and of course fresh tomatoes right out of the garden. In the picture above you see some nice fresh sliced tomatoes with some red onions and a nice sprig of fresh basil. This is good and may be enough for you but if you want to dress it up a little I suggest you try this. Mince up a clove or two of garlic, cut some basil in strips ( just leaves, no stems ), slice some red onion and the tomatoes and arrange them on individual salad plates. Sprinkle with the basil, garlic, and fresh ground black pepper. Now drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on it and you have a nice refreshing tomato salad that's loaded with flavor for all to enjoy!!!
