5 Heirloom Tomatoes, sliced

2 tbsp shallots, minced (or red onion if you are in a pinch)

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

⅓ cup olive oil

1 tsp kosher salt

½ tsp black pepper

3 tbsp fresh basil, julienned

½ cup feta cheese

2 tbsp toasted pine nuts

Toast pine nuts ahead of time by placing nuts in a dry saute pan and cooking over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes or until they are just turning brown. (They are easy to burn. Ask me how I know.)

Cut tomatoes into 1/4″ to 1/2″ inch slices. Place tomatoes on paper towel to drain for approximately 10 minutes.

Combine shallots, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Slice tomatoes. Place on paper towels and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Whisk in olive oil, salt and pepper to vinegar mixture. Set aside.

Place tomatoes on a large platter. Gently pour dressing over tomatoes and garnish with feta, basil and pine nuts. Let sit for 5 minutes and enjoy.
