Steps
Tomato season is here and this healthy, quick and easy recipe is perfect for summertime as a dish on itself or a side dish for any grilled protein. The sweet tomatoes, crunchy croutons, crisp cucumber and celery, briny capers berries and fragrant basil pairs well with our Wild Cured Sumac and Ancient Halaby Blend; however, let your imagination run free and customize it to your liking! There is nothing like the taste of a freshly picked tomato still warm from the sunshine, the reason why you should keep your tomatoes at room temperature.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the U.S. Supreme Court declared tomatoes a vegetable in 1893?
However, tomatoes are actually a fruit since they grow on a vine and their season runs from May through October.
Step 1 - Croutons
Preheat oven to 375F
Step 2 -
In a large mixing bowl combine cubed bread, California Love blend and salt and toss it a couple times. Drizzle olive oil over the bread while stirring to make sure the bread is coated evenly and oil has been absorbed.
Step 3 -
Spread the cubed bread on a sheet pan into an even layer and bake it for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 4 - Rest of Salad
With a serrated knife cut the tomatoes into ½” slices, some in wedges to have different shapes and textures, go ahead a season with some Pink Peruvian Salt so it can start penetrating the flesh. Also, go ahead and cut the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise.
Step 5 -
Arrange sliced and wedged Heirloom tomatoes, followed with cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, celery, red onions, caperberries, celery leaves and croutons.
Step 6 -
Season generously with more Sacred Valley Pink Peruvian Salt and drizzle the Extra Virgin Olive Oil evenly all over the salad.
Step 7 -
Season generously with Wild Cured Sumac and freshly ground Late Harvest Black Peppercorn. Sprinkle basil leaves on top.
