Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the heirloom tomatoes and baby cucumbers thoroughly. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and slice the cucumbers into thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Rinse under cold water to reduce the sharpness, if desired.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped heirloom tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and red onion.

  4. 4

    Add Basil and Season

    Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with EVOO

    Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes to enhance flavors.
