I think my favorite
part of summer is the vegetables. Even if you don’t have a garden (or a
neighbor who does), it seems like fresh produce is everywhere. Corn on the cob is at every grocery store and
local farmer’s markets offer a variety of summer bounty for your table.
- 2
garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 4 Tablespoons
red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup
olive oil
- 1/2 cup minced fresh basil
- 4 to 6
large tomatoes, cut into slices
- 4
sliced cucumbers, peeled (optional)
- 1 large
white onion, sliced into rings
Directions:
In a small bowl,
combine garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and mustard. Whisk in vinegar and oil
until well mixed. Stir in basil. In a shallow serving dish, layer half of the
tomato, onion, and cucumber slices. Drizzle with half of the dressing. Repeat
layers. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so before serving.
