Fresh Tomato Salad w/Jalapeno Vinaigrette

Ingredients


2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt, to taste

2 tablespoons diced onion

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, divided

2 large tomatoes, Beefsteak tomatoes recommended

½ - 1 jalapeño (based on preference), diced

3 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped

 

Directions


  1. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, and jalapenos. Cook long enough to soften the bite of the garlic, but not long enough for it to brown, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  2. Thinly slice the tomatoes and arrange them on a large serving platter or tray with little overlap. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, to preference.
  3. Stir vinegar into cooled garlic mixture. Spoon over sliced tomatoes. Garnish with cilantro.
  4. Serve at room temperature for the best flavor.
