Tomato with olive oil is a simple fresh dish of ripe tomato slices dressed with olive oil. It fits naturally into Mediterranean-style meals and is easy to make at home, especially when tomatoes are in season. Depending on the table, it can be served as a small salad, a side, or part of a spread rather than as a cooked dish.
The tomatoes are juicy, gently tangy and soft, while the oil adds a fruity richness. Serve it alongside bread, grilled vegetables, beans or a main course; it also works well with cheese as part of a light lunch. It is mostly fresh vegetable, with olive oil contributing much of its fat and energy. For a lighter serving, use just enough oil to coat the slices, and add herbs or a little lemon for extra brightness.
