Coeur de Boeuf, originated from Italy, commonly known as ‘ox-hearts’, is known for its meaty, fleshy texture and fruity taste, and, of course, for its beautiful unusual shape. These 'old-fashioned' tomatoes are beautifully ribbed and ripen from the inside out, turning from green to orange into a deep red. Perfect for pastas and sauces and just superb in salads with fresh herbs and cheese.
- 400 g Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes, thickly sliced
- 10 Black olives, sliced into rings
- Green pepper
- Fleur de sel
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- Balsamico cream
- Argan oil
| |
- Arrange the tomato slices on a platter.
- Scatter black olive rings and cilantro leaves over tomato slices.
- Sprinkle with cracked green pepper and salt. Drizzle the salad with balsamico cream and argan oil.

Absolutely stunning --- this is the way we were all meant to eat!!
Beautiful salad. Blessings, Catherine
I love that funky shaped tomato; I didn't know argan oil is edible (used it for my hair). Learned something today ;-)
That is one gorgeous tomato! What does argan oil taste like? In any case, this looks beautiful. And I bet it tastes pretty, too!
Hi Angie,
I never tried out this kind of tomatoes, but saw them quite often. Time to change that. Same for the argan oil. Thanks for the inspiration through that post.

Scrumptious! A wonderful salad and combination.
Cheers,

That is an amazing tomato, it looks really luscious. And I've only heard of argan oil being used as a beauty product. Interesting to know that it can be eaten, too.
Lovely tomatoes! I haven't seen balsamico cream before.
Simplicity at its best Angie.

I'm a tomato person. Looking at your tomato salad and the cute tomato make me drool!
Oh these tomatoes I haven't had for a very long time.. they are very good even without anything :)
What an interesting tomato and what a lovely salad you've made with it.

That is quite a tomato!! I must say, I am pretty relieved you weren't actually talking about beef hearts. :)
What a beautiful salad, looks so yummy!
Beautiful colours Angie. We used to be able to get these tomatoes easily but of course the large supermarkets have stopped that because they dont keep as well as the round tasteless ones. I love the look of this delicious dish
LOL, I was looking for the "beef," but am just as happy with these gorgeous tomatoes!! Beautiful salad!
What a beautiful shape of tomato, and looks so tempting !
I have never seen these tomatoes - thanks for the education. Our farmer's market just opened this past weekend...I am keeping my eyes peeled on new vegetables.
Perfect for summer!
oooh, I love the idea of using argan oil, your salad looks phenomenal, Angie!
learn new things from you again Angie! "ox-hearts" ! hardly see it here.
Would love to finish that plate of fantastic salad anytime, absolutely gorgeous.
So simple and so gorgeous! I'm so excited for tomatoes to start getting good again - I've missed them!
I don't think I've ever seen that variety of tomato - it's beautiful! That is my favorite salad when fresh homegrown tomatoes are available. Can't wait! Love the olive addition in yours.
This plate look beautiful Angie@
What a beautiful looking tomato! It's rare to see such produce in supermarkets today.

Absolutely gorgeous tomato salad, Angie! This would be our beefsteak tomatoes. I've never seen this unusual shape like that! The vivid pretty red color is amazing!
Your photos are lovely, and the recipe isn't at all what I expected when I read the title! Have a great weekend, Angie.
Simply gorgeous, Angie. I don't see them in my market, ever. But will try with some great looking heirloom tomatoes.
Ohhhh, it's a tomato! When I read 'coeur de boeuf' I thought Angie's Recipes had taken an ugly (to me) turn! What a relief! That looks perfectly delicious.
How gorgeous are those tomatoes. Insane. This salad looks amazing :-)
A lovely salad, Angie! I have never seen that tomato before, simply stunning!
These tomatoes look so different and delicious, Angie, you come up with such new ingredients, and the salad, superb..
The color is so beautiful!
I love that tomato. So beautiful. That is exactly what I want to grow.

Never seen these tomatoes before! A simple yet tasteful salad! Love it!
This is the first time I heard and see that tomato,unusual shape but beautiful,fresh,healthy and the dressing sound perfect for this easy salad!
balsamic is so good and would take a dish like this above and beyond!
Every time I visit your blog I find something new that I have to Google so I can find out where to buy it. I had no idea there was such a thing as an argan tree! :)
Give me a chance & I'd Devour this incredible salad! xx
I love tomatoes of all types and your salad is one I would devour in seconds.:) Gorgeous photos and yummy recipe, Angie.
Oh gosh those tomatoes with Balsamico and black olives? HEAVEN!!! I have to try argan oil though - no idea what it tastes like but its on my must do list.
Fantastic colors :)

I love how you bring the simplest ingredients together to make a beautiful looking and delicious dish :)
Wow!
Simply gorgeous! So fresh and delicious! This is the first time I am hearing about this dish. What is balsamic cream? Never heard of that too. I want to taste this dish!!!
I am a tomato person! Angie, I am amazed at your ideas....love your pictures...pinned, gplussed!
Lots of heirloom tomatoes around here, but I have never come across this beauty. I never fail to learn something from you! Now, please tell me about the taste of argan oil. Totally new for me.
Gina
Your salad looks so hearty and delicious, the Argan oil is a wonderful choice :D
Cheers

@GinaIt has a rich nutty taste, very similar to hazelnuts.
my goodness look at those tomatoes!!!
what a delightful looking salad!
Wow, this salad is so beautiful! I love how fresh and pretty it looks!
What a unique looking tomato. I have never encounter such gorgeous tomato yet but love to someday. Your salad looks fantastic.
A quote from Mark Twain gave me smile.
What beautiful tomatoes. This is the kind of salad that I dream about all winter long. Ox-hearts are one of the varieties I grow in my garden over summer, and there is nothing better than one of these picked, still warm from the sun, straight from the vine onto the plate.
gorgeous salad, Angie, I am all enthusiastic about the fresh produce back in the market now and this is a winner :-)
This is so elegant and perfect for summer!
It sure is an unusual tomato and I just love the name.I'n annoyed with myself that we didn't bring back edible argon oil, I only brought back some for cosmetic use. I love the look of this salad, just brimming with spring gorgeousness.

A divine coeur de boeuf tomato salad, Angie! Waw even! Wit that argan oil is must be very flavoursome & apart! MMMMM! :)
It looks beautiful! Simple ingredients make the best food.
I love those tomatoes! The dressing is just perfect. :)
I like baking with balsamic. It adds a really nice unique flavor to the foods.
Beautiful! I can just imagine this with a nicely grilled steak. Perfect summer dish.
Gosh Angie - did you grow this tomato? It is so beautiful and love the simple presentation. The flavor must be amazing. We have about 15 tomato plants - all heirloom, but no fruit yet! Can't wait to eat a plate of fresh sliced tomatoes. Bravo!
Tomato salads are my favorite. I love this recipe for it's simplicity and think this will become a staple for our summer barbecues.
So gorgeous! I love fresh tomatoes this time of year, especially in simple salads like this.
A gorgeous salad- and it couldn't be more simple!
This is beautiful and those tomatoes are stunning! Nice recipe.
I am so looking forward to harvesting vine ripened tomatoes from my garden. Your salad is gorgeous.
It's been a while since I've had coeur de boeuf, and your photos are making me yearn for them! This salad is perfect, Angie -- simple, elegant, healthy, and I'm sure it's delicious!
I never heard of these tomatoes before Angie! They are so different looking! I would love to try them - in your beautiful salad! Delizioso!
I've never heard of this variety of tomato nor have I used argan oil - thanks for introducing me to two new ingredients! ;)
the color so attractive, a healthy dish :D
What a beautiful and unusual shaped tomato. There's nothing better that a simple salad made with such lovely tomatoes and other simple, complementary ingredients. Great salad Angie!
I love how you use ingredients and always come across the most unique twists on the ordinary here. It's so inspiring and educational at the same time. Your coeur-de-boeuf tomato salad looks stunning juxtaposed against the dark olive slices. Beautiful presentation.
I have photos of those tomatoes at the markets in France and Italy. I should try growing some of them next year.
