Instructions
- Prepare the white balsamic vinaigrette by combining olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, minced shallot, sugar, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small jar.
- Seal with a lid, and shake until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors time to mingle. Side Note: We enjoy a very tangy vinaigrette. If you don’t, use less vinegar, to taste.
- Prepare the salad by layering the tomato slices, cherry tomato halves, and cucumber slices on a serving plate.
- Drizzle some of the well-whisked vinaigrette on the vegetables, then top with fresh dill, basil, and parsley. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Serve and enjoy.
