Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin  
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar  
1 Tbsp water  
1/4 tsp minced garlic, finely minced  
1/2 tsp table salt  
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground  
1/4 tsp dried oregano, crumbled  
      3 large fresh tomato(es), heirloom variety, sliced  
      1/2 small uncooked red onion(s), very thinly sliced  
1/2 cup(s) basil, leaves, fresh, torn  
Instructions
To make dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, water, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano.

Arrange sliced tomatoes, slightly overlapping, on a platter. Scatter onion and basil over top; drizzle with dressing. Yields half a sliced tomato, a few onion slices and about 2 teaspoons dressing per serving.
Notes
For a heartier salad, add some crumbled feta or ricotta salata, or sliced fresh mozzarella to the platter and serve on a bed of baby arugula (could impact recipe’s PointsPlus value).
