This is simple to prepare and appeals to the Aquarian love for juicy food. Incidentally the tomato is a fruit - hence a double bonus! For a successful tomato salad, pick only ripe and unblemished tomatoes.
You may choose any number you like. For a dinner for two, about 4 beefy tomatoes are enough. Slice them as thinly as you can. Lay them attractively on a plate. Set aside.
Prepare the dressing by combining olive oil and enough red wine vinegar to render the dressing sour enough for you. Add a pinch of finely chopped basil, parsley and pepper and whisk the dressing until it’s blended.
Dribble the dressing over the tomatoes and marinate for about 20 minutes. It’s delicious to serve the salad chilled and, if your Aquarian guest likes it, with Mozzarella cheese.
