Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1 clove garlic, (crushed and minced)
  • ½ serrano chile (seeded and minced)
  • 2 tablespoon tarragon vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (plus more for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad

  • 3 green tomatoes (thinly sliced into half moons)
  • ½ english cucumber (thinly sliced into half moons)
  • ½ white onion (sliced thinly)
  • ½ bulb of fennel (thinly sliced into half moons)
  • ¼ cup celery leaves (loosely torn)
  • ¼ cilantro (chopped)
  • ¼ mint (chopped)
  • ¼ sweet basil (chopped)
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced lengthwise)
  • pomegranate seeds (or any dried fruit for serving)

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk until thoroughly blended. Then, add the green tomatoes and gently massage the dressing into them. Allow them to marinate for 15-20 minutes, allowing the dressing to infuse and soften the tomatoes.
  • Add the remaining salad ingredients to the same large bowl, excluding the Pomegranate Seeds, and toss everything together.
  • To serve, use a slotted spoon to portion out the salad into individual bowls. Finish each serving with a generous sprinkle of Pomegranate Seeds.

Notes

This is a great make-ahead recipe for your next summer dinner party! The green tomatoes stay crunchy for a few hours after dressing.
