A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring ripe tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and a zesty dressing.
Slice the ripe tomatoes into wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a serrated knife for cleaner cuts when slicing tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes to reduce their sharpness.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and onions.
Roll the basil leaves into a tight bundle before chopping for easier handling.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Use your hands to toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the tomatoes.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
