In a large bowl, stir together the shallot and lemon juice. Set aside while you cut the tomatoes.
Cut the tomatoes into bite-size pieces, adding them to the bowl as you go. Season generously with salt and stir to combine. Gently stir in the olive oil, followed by the basil. Season to taste with salt. Serve right away or let sit, stirring occasionally, for up to 30 minutes.
Perfect! Made exactly as written. I had a couple of heirloom tomatoes and about a cup of Sungold cherry tomatoes. Loved the mixture of sweet, salty and tart.
Didn't have lemon on hand so substituted apple cider vinegar instead. Absolutely delicious and easy! Make sure to refrigerate a bit before eating. Will be making again for sure!
Delicious using red onion.
Can I make this ahead for a family picnic?
Would use it within one hour of making it. Recipe says half hour.
The fact that there is no pepper in this is a crime!
Made this last night with tomatoes and basil from the garden. The lemon takes the bite from the shallot, but the shallot flavor is still present. Perfect salad for fresh summer tomatoes.
