Heirloom Tomato Salad With Feta & Oregano Flowers
- 2 pounds assorted ripe heirloom tomatoes
- 1 large bell pepper {any color}, seeded & cut into chunks
- kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 ounces feta, cut into small bits, or crumbled
- oregano flowers, for garnish
- Begin my slicing the tomatoes into medium sized, uneven chunks. I like to vary the shapes, large dicing some of them & slicing others. Place them into a large colander & sprinkle them with a few pinches of kosher salt. Give them a gentle stir & then another pinch, or two, of salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, minced oregano & vinegar. Whisk to combine. Slowly add the olive oil, while whisking, to form an emulsion.
- Gently combine the peppers & tomatoes. Arrange them on a serving platter & sprinkle with the diced feta. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, garnish with the oregano flowers & serve.
