Tomato Salad

While you can find tomatoes year-round in France, too, they just aren’t the same as those in the season, which runs June through September. In summer my family used to eat tomatoes at least twice a week, but typically three or four times, in different raw preparations for full flavor.

This salad transforms nicely into a shrimp salad, too. Simply add a bit of cooked shrimp and combine with Yogurt Salad Dressing.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mesclun or mixed salad greens
Small ripe tomato, sliced

Yield: 1 Serving

RECIPE

Cover each plate with a layer of mesclun or mixed greens. Place sliced tomatoes on top. Salt and pepper to taste.
