The Mothership Tomato Salad-Jamie Oliver

Hey everyone! I'm joining I Heart Cooking Clubs, Jamie Oliver is the chef and this week's theme is We Be Chillin'. We can pick any cold food recipe to make. I'm sure there are more than a few of us out there with some garden tomatoes right now, so I chose The Mothership Tomato Salad:

What makes this different than other tomato salads? I'd say the grated garlic and I used fresh oregano. 

Once again I find myself sitting at the keyboard, (oh so daintily) pigging out as I type:@)

The Mothership Tomato Salad
2 1/4lbs tomatoes
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper-I used Kosher salt
Good pinch dried oregano-I used fresh oregano
Red wine or balsamic vinegar-I used red wine
Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and grated
1 fresh red chile, seeded and chopped-I used a few shakes of crushed red pepper flakes

This is a "loosely written" recipe HERE but the picture with different colored tomatoes is beautiful!

1. Cut tomatoes and add a good pinch of salt, stir, add another pinch of salt and stir again. Let sit in a colander to drain for 15 minutes, throw out liquid.
2. In a large bowl mix tomatoes, oregano and make a dressing using 1 part vinegar to 3 parts olive oil, the garlic and chile. Drizzle with enough dressing to coat everything nicely. I had less than a pound of tomatoes and used 1 Tblsp vinegar and 3 tblsp oilive oil, also adjusted the garlic and oregano.
3. Jamie suggests serving it with mozzarella and ciabatta bread. I just suggest trying it!

Have a happy day:@)
