Recipe Notes
You hardly need a recipe for this classic salad, but its success depends on the very best quality ingredients. This is where you want to use your very best full-flavored extra virgin olive oil, and I like the tomato to be perfectly ripe and super cold. I will usually chill the plates and assemble the recipe at the last minute.
