Summer Salad - Tomato, Feta and Basil

When temperatures hit 3-digits the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove or oven. The thought of standing over heat makes me cringe. So what a better way to compliment a meal by adding a beautifully composed summer no-cook dish. This 3-ingredient salad recipe is simple and quick to make. A perfect accompaniment to a summer BBQ, dinner or lunch party. Enjoy! 

Recipe

8 medium size tomatoes, sliced 1/8”

8-ounces block Feta cheese, sliced 1/8” 

2 small packages fresh basil, leaves picked off stems 

3 tsp sea salt

2 tsp fresh ground pepper

¼ C good quality olive oil

On a large platter arrange slices of tomato and Feta so that they overlap. In between each tomato and Feta slice place a basil leaf. Repeat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately. Yields 15-20 servings.
