Marinated Heirloom Tomatoes with Tarragon
Photo: Lee Harrelson; Styling: Melanie J. Clarke
A simple marinade of shallots, balsamic vinegar, and fresh tarragon makes the most of summer tomatoes. Try a variety of heirloom tomatoes in this dish for their different colors and flavors.
Side dishes don't get any easier than this one. All you need to do is slice up the tomatoes and drizzle with a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and tarragon.
Prepare this one hour before you eat, and serve it at room temperature.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 3 tomato slices)
