Mixed Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Core beefsteak tomatoes; cut each into 8 wedges. Halve grape and cherry tomatoes; leave pear tomatoes whole.
• Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and oil; season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss arugula with half the dressing. Divide arugula and tomatoes evenly among four serving plates; drizzle tomatoes with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• This is an incredible tomato salad but there are two things to remember if you want to wow your guests with something so simple. The first is that you should try to get a mixture of different, tasty, local (if possible) tomatoes in all different shapes, sizes and colors. Second, the flavor is brought out by salting the tomatoes, so don't skip this bit. Some people get worried about putting this much salt on their food, but the bulk of it will drip off, leaving you with really beautiful, intensely flavored tomatoes.
• If you can get hold of some dried flowering oregano then do, as it has the most heavenly flavor. Feel free to use the dried stuff that you get in a little container, but it can taste a bit like sawdust when compared to the fruity, fragrant flavor you get from the flowering variety. Oregano is also great to grow in the garden.
• Depending on the size of your tomatoes, slice some in half, some into quarters and others into uneven chunks. Straightaway this will give you the beginnings of a tomato salad that's really brave and exciting to look at and eat. Put the tomatoes into a colander and season with a good pinch of sea salt.
• Give them a toss, season again and give a couple more tosses. The salt won't be drawn into the tomatoes; instead it will draw any excess moisture out, concentrating all the lovely flavors. Leave the tomatoes in the colander on top of a bowl to stand for around 15 minutes, then discard any juice that has come out of them.
• Transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl and sprinkle over the oregano. Make a dressing using 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil, the garlic and the chile. Drizzle the tomatoes with enough dressing to coat everything nicely.
• This is a fantastic tomato salad, which is totally delicious to eat on its own. It's also great served with some balls of mozzarella or some nice, grilled ciabatta bread.

Steps:

• Halve the cherry and pear tomatoes. In a large bowl, mix the tomato halves with the onion and garlic.

Steps:

• Core the beefsteak tomatoes; cut each into 8 wedges. Halve the grape and cherry tomatoes; leave the pear tomatoes whole.
• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and oil; season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the arugula with half the dressing. Divide the arugula and tomatoes evenly among 4 serving plates, or arrange on a platter; drizzle the tomatoes with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the large-to-medium tomatoes and halve the smallest. Pick the leaves from the herbs and roughly chop, then mix the herbs with the shallots.
• Choose a large platter and start layering up the tomatoes, mixing colours and sizes. As you finish each layer, scatter with some of the herb-shallot mix and some ground black pepper. Keep layering until everything is used up. Cover and chill for a few hrs. Bring to room temperature 45 mins before serving.
• Whisk together the dressing ingredients with some salt, then drizzle over the salad and serve.

Steps:

• 1. To a mixing bowl, add halved tomatoes, shallots, garlic, basil, oregano, Bocconcini, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss until the ingredients are well combined, cover and transfer to the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• 2. To make the vinaigrette: In a small container, add extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, granulated sugar and hot paprika. Cover and shake well until everything is well blended. Transfer to the fridge until ready to serve.
• 3. Before pouring the vinaigrette over the salad, give another good shake to make sure it's well mixed, pour it on, and gently toss the salad until the ingredients are well coated.
