Ingredients

1 cup 2 percent-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
1 thinly sliced Thai chile or small serrano chile (seeded, if less heat is desired)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 1/4 pounds mixed tomatoes, such as sungold, beefsteak, and heirloom, cut into rounds

Fresh mint or basil leaves, or a combination, for serving

TOMATO SALAD ON CUMIN-SPICED YOGURT

This simple tomato salad is ready in minutes, and works best with a mix of ripe tomatoes from the market that are delicious enough to eat raw. Layered on cumin-spiced yogurt, and slathered in a bright herb dressing, it's hearty enough to have as a late summer meal with a piece of grilled bread. The recipe comes from chef Preeti Mistry, who ran a restaurant in Oakland called Juhu Beach Club, inspired by her unique experience as an Indian-American born in London to Asian parents from East Africa, raised in the American Midwest, who was cheffing in northern California.

Tomato Salad on Cumin-Spiced Yogurt image

Steps:

In a small, dry saucepan over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds until they are toasted and aromatic (do not let them burn!), about 2 minutes. Use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to grind into a powder. In a small bowl, mix toasted cumin with 2 tablespoons yogurt, turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt, until no streaks remain. Set aside.
To make the dressing, put the garlic, herbs, yogurt, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor, and purée until smooth. With the machine running, pour the oil into the bowl in a slow steady stream. The dressing will become a thin, light green vinaigrette.
To assemble the salad, spread the remaining 1 cup yogurt on the bottom of a large serving dish. Toss the cut tomatoes with the vinaigrette, and pile them on top of the yogurt. Pour any remaining dressing all over the tomatoes and yogurt. Finish with a sprinkle of Maldon or other crunchy salt, and serve, spooning up the yogurt, tomatoes and dressing all together.
