How to Make Creole Tomato Salad

  1. Wash and slice 1 pound of ripe tomatoes (about 4-5 medium) into ¼-inch thick slices.
  2. Thinly slice ½ medium red onion.
  3. Arrange alternating tomato and onion slices on a large platter.
  4. Sprinkle generously with sea salt (about ½ teaspoon).
  5. Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves and 1 tablespoon of fresh chives. Sprinkle evenly over the salad.
  6. In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  7. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
  8. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
