Frozen granita made from pureed tomatoes add both texture and flavor to this basic salad. Make this in summer when tomatoes are at their local, sun-ripened best.
Ingredients
Granita:
- 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 8 oz. seeded, peeled, heirloom tomatoes
Salad:
- 4 assorted heirloom tomatoes, cut into ¼" slices (about 2 lb.)
- ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil
Directions
- To prepare granita, place vinegar, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and seeded peeled tomatoes in a blender or food processor; process until smooth.
- Place tomato mixture in an 8″ square baking dish; cover and freeze until firm, stirring twice during first 2 hours. Remove mixture from freezer; scrape the entire mixture with a fork until fluffy.
- To prepare salad, arrange tomato slices on a platter. Sprinkle tomatoes with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with granita. Sprinkle with basil.
