2 pounds heirloom tomatoes
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
vinegar (balsamic, red wine or sherry)
sprinkling of herbs (tarragon, basil, chives, and/or Italian parsley

Pull out the extra-virgin olive oil, good vinegar, and highfalutin sea salt because each of this salad’s few ingredients defines the final flavor. Of course, the most important element is ripe, beauteous tomatoes, so hunt some down at your local market
