TomatoBasil Salad with Thyme Vinaigrette
Serves: 6
For us, the marriage of tomatoes and basil makes life better-no
matter what else is going on. This salad is especially good in the summertime, when tomatoes
are at their best. We prefer frisée, which is tart and crunchy, but use another green if
you like.

Preparation
Core the tomatoes and slice them into thin wedges. Transfer to a glass
bowl.
Rinse the onion slices under cool, running water to remove their
sharpness. Set aside to dry on paper towels. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice,
vinegar, and thyme. (This vinaigrette keeps for up to 2 days if covered and refrigerated.)
Add the frisée, basil leaves, and olives to the bowl with the
tomatoes. Toss and dress with the vinaigrette. Season with salt, if desired. Serve
immediately.
