Sliced Tomato with Salt & Pepper

A simple classic 😊 Here’s a clean, tasty way to do Sliced Tomato with Salt & Pepper, plus a few easy upgrades.

Basic Version

Ingredients

• Ripe tomatoes
• Salt (sea salt or kosher works best)
• Freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1. Wash and slice the tomatoes into rounds or wedges.
2. Arrange on a plate in a single layer.
3. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
4. Add freshly ground black pepper.
5. Let sit 2–3 minutes so the salt brings out the juices.

Optional Simple Upgrades

• Olive oil: A light drizzle adds richness.
• Fresh herbs: Basil, parsley, or chives.
• Acid: A few drops of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
• Cheese: Fresh mozzarella or crumbled feta.
• Crunch: Flaky salt instead of regular salt.

Tips

• Use very ripe tomatoes (heirloom or vine-ripened taste best).
• Don’t over-salt—tomatoes release liquid quickly.
• Serve immediately for best texture.
