A refreshing and vibrant salad combining the flavors of ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and a zesty dressing.
Combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Let the dressing sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until the dressing is emulsified.
Whisking slowly ensures a smooth and well-combined dressing.
Slice the ripe tomatoes into wedges and add them to the dressing. Let them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Marinating the tomatoes enhances their flavor and infuses them with the dressing.
Chop the fresh basil just before serving to preserve its vibrant color and aroma.
Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the basil leaves.
Toss the marinated tomatoes with the crisp romaine lettuce in a salad bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is dry to prevent the dressing from becoming diluted.
Top the salad with the chopped basil and shaved Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
Serve the salad as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
Pair with a crusty bread or grilled protein for a complete meal.
