Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 Ripe Tomatoes
  • 1 Shallot
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • ½ tsp Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • about 1 cup or 100 g Mâche / Cornsalad / Lamb’s Lettuce

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes into wedges or thick rounds, depending on what looks best with the shape of your tomatoes. Arrange them on a serving plate.
  • Sprinkle the shallots, garlic and oregano evenly over the tomatoes. This way, their flavor gently infuses each slice—no need for a dressing bowl.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Try to pour slowly and evenly over the tomatoes so each piece gets a bit of both.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.
  • Just before serving, scatter the mâche over the top. You can gently toss everything together, or leave it layered.
