Story
|
Be sure to use fresh basil and oregano in this salad. Tomatoes, basil, and oregano together are a perfect flavor combination. When you use fresh ingredients, you can really taste the difference. Now, if you can't find pear tomatoes in your store, choose any solid red tomato that will stand up to the dressing - a Roma tomato would be fine. You don't want anything that will fall apart as it's tossed with the dressing. Romas are nice and firm and less moist than, say, a beefsteak tomato.
