Zesty Tomato Salad with Chili Crisp Vinaigrette

Ingredients

- 4 large tomatoes, ripe and juicy
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under cold running water.
- Once clean, slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even flavor distribution.

2. Salt the Tomatoes:
- Place the tomato slices in a single layer on a large platter.
- Sprinkle the salt evenly over the tomatoes. This step helps to enhance their natural sweetness and draw out a bit of moisture, which will intensify their flavor. Let them sit for 5 minutes.

3. Make the Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, mix the chili crisp with the rice vinegar. Use a fork or whisk to blend until the oil from the chili crisp is well incorporated into the vinegar.

4. Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the chili crisp vinaigrette over the salted tomatoes, ensuring each slice gets a generous coating.

5. Serve:
- The salad can be served immediately for a more robust flavor. Serve it as a delightful snack or appetizer.
