STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

PREP THE TOMATOES

  1. Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and remove the stems.

  2. Cut them into different shapes and sizes to give the salad a fun, rustic look. Slice the large tomatoes, quarter the medium ones, and simply cut cherry tomatoes in half.

PREP THE REMAINING INGREDIENTS

  1. Peel the shallot (or red onion) and thinly slice it.
  2. Quarter the pomegranate and remove the seeds.
  3. Wash the fresh mint leaves, pat them dry thoroughly, and pick the leaves off the stems.

MAKE THE DRESSING

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, pomegranate balsamic cream, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.

ASSEMBLE & SERVE

  1. Arrange the tomato slices on a large serving platter or bowl.
  2. Drizzle the freshly made dressing evenly over the tomatoes.
  3. Top with sliced shallots, pomegranate seeds, and fresh mint leaves.
  4. Finish with a gentle sprinkle of Flor de Sal and zesty lemon pepper right before serving!
