Trying to add different dishes and salads to the “Saturday Lunch at the Farm” crowd brought the dawn of new tastes and new ways of devouring lunch. This salad goes particularly well when “Tommy the Beefsteak Tomato” or “Penelope the Plum tomato” when in the summer you can actually smell the tomatoes maturing and growing big right before you eyes. The use of fresh mint really highlights this simple salad along with the use of fresh scallions, and cucumbers. Even during the cold winter, to bring this bright salad to the table can bring smiles and salad bowls handed down to add just a little more. This is a rustic salad that jumps up and grabs you to behold it. Hey, who said the “Farm” can’t be healthful too. Don’t hesitate to change the ingredients or using fresh green or red peppers instead of the chilies. Go ahead….it’s ok! Enjoy mostly……and have fun *Note* my friend Maito tried this and her suggestions were so good I incorporated the into this recipe. I think it was perfect, thank you Maito!
This recipe says you can complement this dish with a Tomato Salad. I found this recipe at a Estate Sale. I have not tried this recipe, but I’m posting it for safe keeping.
I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don’t make this if you can’t get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It’s not worth doing. And don’t use your tomatoes from the fridge.
