TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD

SERVES 4

This is a great way to use tomatoes and cucumbers when they are at the peak of flavor.

INGREDIENTS

2 large ripened tomatoes, sliced

1 large cucumber, sliced

Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Red wine or Balsamic vinegar

Olive oil

Place the tomatoes and cucumbers on a platter in alternating and overlapping layers. Sprinkle with basil, salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar and oil. (May be prepared up to 1 hour before serving and kept at room temperature.)

Note: When the tomatoes and cucumbers are in season and very flavorful, you do not need much vinegar and oil. Use more only if the flavor needs some help.
