4 medium heirloom tomatoes, variety of choice
Dressing
½ cup low-fat buttermilk
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Wash and core tomatoes. Peel if desired, and cut into ¼-inch slices. Place decoratively on a platter or on individual salad plates. Set aside.
Prepare the dressing: Mix all the ingredients in a small jar or container with a lid. Whisk well and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve with sliced tomatoes (or other salad of choice), using about 1 tablespoon dressing per serving.
Serves four; but the dressing makes about 1 cup
