A very juicy and tasty kumato tomato salad layered with traditional red tomatoes and avocado drizzled with argan oil, white wine vinegar and lemon juice.
Kumato, originally from the Galapagos Islands, also known as the black tomato, its colour actually ranges from dark green to a deep brownish-red when ripe. Besides its markedly darker colour, the Kumato is much sweeter and has a intenser aroma than the regular tomatoes.
- 2 tsp Black sesame seeds
- 2 Kumato tomatoes
- 2 Vine-ripened tomatoes
- 1 Ripe avocado
- Basil leaves
- Sea salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp Argan oil
- 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
|
- Dry roast the sesame seeds in a pan on medium-low heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until toasted. Remove from the heat and set it aside to cool.
- Cut the tomatoes into even slices. Simply slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, cut into slices and remove the peel.
- Arrange the slices of tomatoes and avocado and basil leaves on a plate. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with argan oil, white wine vinegar and lemon juice. Sprinkle with toasted black sesame seeds.

Such a beautiful plate. Sorta reminds me of tomatoes and bocconcini but I think I would like this version better.
A beautiful, mouthwatering and colorful salad! Kumato tomatoes are so delicious.
Cheers,
Rosa
Wonderful! Looks like a paint of an artist! <3 Congratulations, my dear.. Kisses and hugs.
Wow this tomatoes look sensational. I have never seen them before. I wish I could get my hands on some. What a refreshing dish!!
This looks fantastic. I've never seen a black tomato, but we grow a deep wine colored tomato - a Cherokee Purple.
Have a lovely weekend Angie.

This salad looks amazing Angie. I love tomato and avocado together. Delicious!
Really pretty presentation and very inviting! I'd like a platter all to myself!
Wow, I love the look of your kumatoes! And what a gorgeous salad presentation, Angie. Nothing better than perfectly ripened tomatoes and avocados.
wow, such presentable salad!
Beautifully presented, perfect summer salad (or meal)!
I've never seen Kumato tomatoes! I thought you were using photo art when I first saw the pix. Hahaha! Such an interesting colour....
Simple and perfect.

I've tasted kumatoes once and haven't seen it since in the market :(
Gorgeous colours :D
I haven't seen this kind of tomato before - how very interesting!
What a stunning salad! This is the second time recently you've introduced me to a new ingredient. Thanks for sharing!
That is one beautiful salad. Those tomatoes look perfect.
Just mouthwatering...looks delicious!
Kumato, I always learn something new and interesting from you Angle. I never heard of these before, what a lovely salad they make!
The Kumato is striking! Is the kumato something you find in your markets or are you growing them? They must taste wonderful too made in jams or chutney since you mentioned they're sweeter. Beautiful styling, Angie. The tomato you garnished is beautiful, I'd like to learn how to do that!
Very colourful salad, just loving that platter.
I am also a big fan of the Kumato tomato & your salad is really refreshing & very green-red! I love it too! Another must try, Angie!
I love the flower you cut out of that tomato: a real work of art! :)
I've recently discovered culinary Argan oil, isn't it wonderful. A perfect addition to the wonderful deep coloured tomatoes, lovely salad. GG
Here we call them black tomatoes! Simple and love the touch of sesame seeds Angie!
Oh my, I've never seen this exotic-looking tomatoes before. How amazing that such a color ever existed and I hope I'm not the only one showing ignorance (please forgive me) here. There is no way, I could find that here in the States. That plate arrangement is such a beauty, Angie. You are amazing. Thank you and have a great weekend. :)
Linda ensalada colorida y saludable no conocía esta variedad de tomates negros un abrazos.
Hi Angie,
What a simple and beautiful salad! I may have seen the Kumato toamtoes only once before, ages ago and have not seen it since! Would be lovely if I can find it again!
Elegant and refined this dish! You could be a chef at a good restaurant. This is fresh and summery. I love the rose in the centre. Brava Angie!

That looks amazing! I just did a similar salad and it was wonderful!! The avocado definitely amps up the flavor and texture.
Wow Angie!Gorgeous presentation.I love kumato tomato but here in Portugal is a little bit expensive:(
I must try your salad,I think I will love tomato and avocado combination...
The "kumato" tomato is similar to our cherokee purple. These deep colored tomatoes make salad presentation extra nice.

What could be better! This is a beautiful dish and I love your rose in the center that just sets it off perfectly, XOXO
You've inspired me for my next salad Angie. I've never seen a black tomato, but if they are sweeter and more flavorful than a regular red tomato, I want to find some very soon! Love the presentation too Angie!

There are many varieties of tomatoes in the farmers market right now but I have never seen one this dark. It's beautiful mixed with the other varieties on the plate. We are enjoying fresh tomatoes every day during their season.
I don't like avocado ( I know , 'tis a shame ;D ) but your simple and healthy salad looks really tempting ! I haven't seen kumato tomatoes , they sure look pretty interesting :D
What a beautiful salad. I love your tomato rose, it's perfect!
Almost toooooo beautiful to eat, Angie! Yum :D
Your kumato tomato salad is gorgeous. Definitely love the deep red/brown color contrasting with the regular red tomatoes. :)
Nice work! I'm going to keep my eye out next year for that variety of tomato. So very pretty!
Kumato tomatoes are a favorite of mine! My local store carries them quite often and you're right - they are delicious. What a lovely way to use them in this delicious salad!
You took my breath away with this post Angie. Those tomatoes are the most beautiful things I've ever seen! Your garnish is amazing and your photos are fantastic. What a fresh and delicious dish! Thank you!
I make a similar salad once a week, but love the addition of sesame seeds and basil! I am going to try it next time! I usually add lime juice and cilantro to mine!
This salad looks beautiful. The kumatos looks wonderful.

That is one gorgeous salad! I love Kumato tomatoes and sometimes can find them at the Growers' Markets. When I see them, I buy them. Argan oil? Have never heard of it until now. Just did some reading and see that it is used cosmetically as well. Need to investigate this further.
So colorful and gorgeous!
Yummy.. Salad looks nutritious Angie... Although I've never tried kumato tomatoes :-)
I love that unique colour of the kumato. So pretty and healthy delicious!

I've seen these tomatoes in the supermarket and wondered what to do with them. Now I know. Thanks ;-)
Love the look of these tomatoes! I haven't seen any other colored tomato besides the yellow ones or of course the red ones. The salad looks very pretty.
Love the beautiful display of this, it's wonderful. I've only recently started to like avocado, started with smoothies, but now I'm being more adventurous. I have to say i've never tasted Kumato before, sounds delicious!
I love these tomatoes, this salad looks super inviting..

Not only does this look delicious, but it's gorgeous, to boot! I've never heard of Kumato Avocado Salad, but you'd better believe I'm gonna try this now. Thanks for sharing, Angie!
Gorgeous tomato, avocado salad, Angie. Sad to say there is no chance that we can get these beautiful Kumato tomatoes here, in S. Florida, by no reason I couldn't make this refreshing salad. Pretty, as a 'picture' presentation, as well!
What a delicious idea!
Such a beautiful way to serve a salad!
Angie, this is my first time seeing a kumato tomato!! I love avocado and I think I'm going to like this salad too!
The perfect salad in my book.... and especially for summer!!
avocado salad never fails me...slurp!
Lovely salad presentation Angie- It's fun to find and try different heirloom tomatoes this time of year ;)
This is a beautiful salad Angie and I would definitely accompany it with one of your delicious breads!

Lovely salad and clicks Angie!!
Oh I wish I could get the black tomato here, I am feeling inspired by your simple but yet so tasty looking salad Angie!
I love the rose in the middle! And of course, I can gobble up tomatoes and avocadoes in no time!
What a delight - I just discovered kumato this year and really noticed the taste difference. This salad looks so full of life Angie!
I hv seen Kumato here but hv not tried them. This is such an easy, fresh flavorful salad to make.
Hi Angie, nice plating, so classy like from 5 star hotel. The salad look so inviting.
Have a nice day.
Scored a few of those tomatoes at the market a couple of weeks ago. They make great caprese salads. This looks fantastic for the last remaining days of summer!
