Simple Tomato Salad

Summer brings back memories of salads I used to make.

One of my favourites is a simple tomato salad. The key is to have tasty tomatoes, the kind you can only find in summer.

First, crush 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, adding half a teaspoon of salt, using the flat bottom of a sturdy glass as a pestle.

This fresh homemade ”garlic salt” is so much tastier than the short-cut I now use: store-bought, crushed garlic in a jar.

I use a lot of garlic. Toss the tomatoes in this salty garlic to coat. Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil and again mix to coat.

Refrigerate for an hour or two - then serve cold.

Very refreshing on a hot summer day!
