Spanish Tomato Salad
I’m fresh off of a beautiful trip to Spain where I ate the most delicious food, drank incredible wine, and rested and relaxed hard. While seafood was definitely the highlight of our culinary experience, my favorite dish from the entire trip was a simple plate of thick cut tomato slices drizzled with local olive oil, salt, and pickled mediterranean herbs. While I’m sure I’ll never be able to fully recreate the magic of those fresh European ingredients enjoyed seaside, I’ll be trying to for years to come. Hold on to the last of summer’s abundant produce with me with this easy to assemble, satisfying snack or side dish.
