Ingredients

• 2 medium heirloom tomatoes
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 quarter cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 10 pieces fresh basil leaves
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Slice the heirloom tomatoes into wedges and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside in a large bowl.

Step 3

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Add these to the bowl with the fresh tomatoes.

Step 4

Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them into a tight bundle, and slice them thinly to create ribbons (chiffonade). Sprinkle the basil over the tomatoes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Pour the vinaigrette over the tomato mixture and gently toss everything together to coat the tomatoes evenly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately or let the salad rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
