This simple salad features the delightful contrast of icy, crunchy granita crowning juicy, room-temperature tomatoes. Ingredients:
granita |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
8 ounces seeded peeled heirloom tomato |
4 assorted heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 2 pounds) |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
small fresh basil leaves (optional) |
Directions:
1. To prepare granita, place first 4 ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Place tomato mixture in an 8-inch square baking dish; cover and freeze until firm, stirring twice during the first 2 hours. Remove mixture from freezer; scrape entire mixture with a fork until fluffy.
2. To prepare salad, divide tomato slices evenly among 6 plates. Sprinkle tomatoes evenly with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons granita. Sprinkle with basil leaves, if desired.
