Makes 4 servings
This simple, artistically composed salad makes a stunning presentation, and I think it's especially delicious accompanied by warm cornbread.
4 medium beefsteak tomatoes, each cut into 3 slices, tops and bottoms sliced off and discarded
4 cups Red Bean-Corn Relish
For each serving, arrange a salad plate with alternate layers of 3 tomato slices and ½ cup relish.
