Ww Tomato Salad With Red Onion And Basil 2 Points Recipes

Steps:

• Cut 1 1/2 pounds mixed tomatoes into wedges; season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 teaspoons brown sugar in a small skillet over medium heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes; remove from the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Drizzle over the tomatoes; top with snipped chives and basil.

Steps:

• To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl, whish the vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, mustard and pepper.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions and basil.
• Drizzle with the dressing; toss to coat.
• Refrigerate, covered, tossing once, until the flavors are blended, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Use fully ripened fresh tomatoes; core and chop coarsely.
• In a saucepan, bring vinegar to a simmer.
• Add onions and garlic; simmer until softened, 3 to 5 minutes; cool.
• In a bowl, gently combine tomatoes with basil, cumin, coriander, mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil; stir in onion mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve over grilled fish, asparagus, baked potatoes, black bean cakes, or other fish, poultry and vegetables.

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes horizontally into 1/4-inch slices. (Remember that a sharp blade is required to slice very ripe tomatoes.) Arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, on a large oval or round gratin dish.
• Cut the peeled onion into 1/8-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into rings and arrange over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, vinegar and oil, coating the whole surface as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the shredded basil on top and serve at room temperature. This goes well with a crunchy, crusty French bread.

Steps:

• Arrange alternating slices of tomatoes and onions on a serving platter. Drizzle with vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with torn basil leaves.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, the vinegar, the mustard, the garlic, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Arrange the tomato slices on a deep platter, scatter the onion and the shallots over them, and pour the dressing over the salad. Chill the salad for 20 minutes, sprinkle it with the minced herbs, and garnish it with the herb sprig.
