Cooking Our Way

Choose tomatoes with good color and flavor (that’s the secret to this salad’s success).  Slice tomatoes and arrange overlapping on platter that is deep enough to hold some liquid.  Coat each slice with Italian dressing or a good vinaigrette.  Chop fresh basil and sprinkle generously over the top along with chopped sweet onion.  Cover well and let stand in refrigerator several hours.
