Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes as thinly as possible to create a carpaccio-style presentation. Arrange the slices on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping them.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix well until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add dried oregano to the mixture, stirring to blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the arugula (rocket) on top of the sliced tomatoes, spreading it evenly.
- Scatter the basil leaves over the arugula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top of the salad, ensuring an even distribution over the tomatoes, arugula, and basil leaves.
- Serve immediately. This salad can be enjoyed as a light starter or side dish.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor; heirloom or beefsteak varieties work particularly well.
- Use fresh basil leaves instead of dried for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor.
- For an extra kick, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
- Make sure to evenly slice the tomatoes to ensure a uniform presentation and consistent flavor in every bite.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
