This no-cook, simple salad calls for the best tomatoes you can find.

"I literally lived on this — and I'm not joking — for a couple of months," Rach says. "When I was a kid, [25 to 30] years ago, I moved briefly to Denmark, and I had no proper kitchen. I lived on tomato salad, bread and great Scandinavian and Danish cheese. That was everything I had. And of course, wine."

On date night with John, Rach likes to serve her tomato salad with Crab and Cheddar-Stuffed Mushrooms and Pinwheel Steaks.

  • A handful basil leaves, torn or cut into chiffonade
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • Salt and pepper
