Ingredients
- About 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 fat garlic clove, minced (or use 2 small ones)
- 1/2 jalapeño, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
- 3 large or 4 medium tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai or regular basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, and jalapeño. (If you think your fish sauce is very salty, start with 1 teaspoon; you can add more at the end.)
-
Arrange the tomato slices on a plate. Spoon the dressing over the tomatoes. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the tomatoes time to release their juices. Sprinkle with the basil and cilantro; serve.
