LOW CARB SALAD WITH 1.7 g NET CARBS

In this Heirloom Tomato Salad, the tomatoes are truly a star, just sensational with the aromatic basil and the creamy whipped feta.

Another salad that you can serve just about with anything. I first made this salad for a girly lunch with a caramelised onion tart and it was also served as part of a summer Christmas lunch with roast turkey, roast pork and ham. This would also be great served with pasta.

Equipment

Ingredients

For the salad…

• 6 heirloom tomatoes (I used very ripe ox-heart tomatoes)
• 4 tbsps olive oil good quality
• ¼ cup small basil leaves or micro basil
• Sea salt

For the whipped feta…

• 230 grams feta crumbled
• 80 grams cream cheese
• ¼ cup basil leaves chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Metric – Imperial

Instructions

• Gently wash your ox-heart tomatoes, shake to remove the excess water, cut off the tops and bottoms then slice into wedges. Transfer to a bowl and season with some sea salt, to allow them to release their flavours.
• Place the crumbled feta in a small food processor and pulse until smooth, add the chopped basil leaves and pulse until combined, add the cream cheese and olive oil and pulse until smooth.
• Smear the whipped feta on one side of a salad platter, pile the tomato wedges on one side, then drizzle over the olive oil and then scatter with the basil leaves. Serve immediately.

This is the version made for Christmas Lunch 2018 with Ox-heart tomatoes, kumata (Russian black tomatoes) and yellow mini Roma tomatoes (I had blanched and smoked the yellow Romas). I also used two different types of  fresh basil from our garden both Greek and flat leaf.
