Tomatoes with Olive Oil & Herb Dressing

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 Tbsp. EVOO (Extra-virgin olive oil)
2- 3 twists of Kroger Private Selection Italian Herb Grinder
1 peeled and minced fresh garlic clove
1- 2 twists of fresh-ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Lay tomato slices in serving dish or plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together EVOO and all ingredients except Parmesan.
Spoon dressing over tomato slices.
Grate parmesan over tomatoes.
To allow flavors to meld, cover and let rest on counter at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Shortcut: Use an herb grinder such as Krogers Private Selection Italian Herb Grinder. Flavoring foods using this grinder enhances food with a fresh mix of wonderful herbs.

Tip: Take advantage of the fact that fresh tomatoes are bountiful this time of year (summer), at a great price, in all Farmers markets, and always have the best flavor in summer.

Grate solid Parmesan or buy freshly-grated Parmesan. If you buy already grated Parmesan, for the best flavor, read the ingredient label and choose one that doesn’t contain an anti caking agent.

Challenge: Make more foods, such as pizza, at home. Food made at home is often more flavorful, is easier on the budget, and much healthier.
