Never store tomatoes in the refrigerator! They end up mealy and tasteless when they reach low temperatures.
- 2-3 large, ripe tomatoes – preferably Roma or another fleshy variety
- 1 tsp. coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 T. red wine vinegar
Slice the tomatoes ¼-inch thick and arrange in a single layer on a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with the salt and pepper. Mix the olive oil and vinegar together and drizzle over the tomatoes. Serve at room temperature – do not chill!
