A delightful and fresh salad featuring heirloom tomatoes, a basil dressing, and toasted almonds for a crunchy twist.
Slice the heirloom tomatoes into even slices and arrange them on a serving plate.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean slices and preserve the tomato's shape.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Drizzle the dressing over the arranged tomato slices evenly.
Pour the dressing slowly to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the dressed tomatoes.
Ensure the almonds are evenly distributed for a balanced crunch in every bite.
Garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
Tear the basil leaves by hand to release their aroma and avoid bruising.
