Calories: 59kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes 3 medium or 6 small
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons pickled jalapenos finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dukkah link to make your own
- 2 teaspoons pistachios finely chopped
- 1 green onion sliced on the bias
- 1/2 teaspoon flake salt
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Place them in a bowl.
- Add the olive oil, pickled jalapenos, and dukkah. Stir until combined.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the pistachios and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
- Thinly slice the green onion on the bias. Place the slices in a strainer and rinse with cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Add to the bowl with the salad.
- Allow the salad about 15-30 minutes to marinate before serving.
- Don’t stir the salad. This prevents it from becoming watery and soggy. Carefully drain any excess water from the bowl before serving.
- Garnish with flake salt when serving.
Notes
- Opt for heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. Look for tomatoes that are firm but yield slightly to pressure and have a rich, fragrant aroma.
- While store-bought dukkah is convenient, making your own allows you to customize the blend to your liking. Toast nuts (such as hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios) and seeds (like sesame, coriander, and cumin) until fragrant, then grind coarsely. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- For the best flavor, let the tomatoes sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.
