Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

3 large ripe tomatoes
2 large red onions
16 anchovy strips
Italian Salad Dressing

Slice tops and bottoms off tomatoes and cut center portions into 4 slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Slice tops and bottoms off onions and cut centers into 1/4-inch slices.

Lay 3 tomatoes on each salad plate. Place onion slices over, then top with anchovy strips.

Spoon dressing over and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING

1 cup olive oil
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper

Mix all the ingredients together well. Let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for a day.

NOTES - With tomatoes and onions, the center slices look much better on the plate. The key to this salad is twofold: good ingredients - especially good and ripe tomatoes - and allowing the salad to marinate in the dressing for a few hours so that all the flavors mingle.
