Tomato Salad with Ginger
An unusual tomato salad, exceptionally fresh tasting—it contains no oil—and terrific with any grilled food. You certainly don't need to be making an Indian meal to serve it.
- 3 large or 4 medium tomatoes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 small fresh chile, like Thai or jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and minced, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Core the tomatoes, then slice them. Arrange them on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for about 10 minutes.
-  Meanwhile, combine the ginger with some more salt and pepper, the chile, and about 3 tablespoons lime juice.
- Drain any liquid that has accumulated around the tomatoes, then dress with the ginger-lime mixture. Taste and add more lime juice if necessary, then garnish and serve.
