Ingredients
  • 5 ripe Heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1" pieces or 4 Heirlooms and a basket of cherry tomatoes (Sweet 100s work nicely), cut in half
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 3-4 tablespoons drained tiny capers
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • Zest of 2 organic lemons (Meyers work nicely)
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon (I use hot smoked salmon, but to your preference), shredded or torn into small pieces
  • 1/4-1/3 cup excellent extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (more if you love pepper)
  • 1 lb. dried angel hair -- (very thin) pasta
  • Optional (I omit): 2 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped for garnish

Directions
  1. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, shallots, and capers.
  2. Add the tarragon, lemon zest, then the olive oil.
  3. Gently fold the ingredients together.
  4. Season with the pepper.
  5. Cover and let rest at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  6. Shortly before serving, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  7. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the pasta and cook until just tender.
  8. Drain the pasta and divide among shallow pasta bowls.
  9. Top each portion evenly with the tomato mixture and shredded salmon.
  10. Sprinkle each portion with chopped egg, if desired.
  11. Serve immediately.
  12. You may have some sauce left over, which, if so, is a good thing! Put it in the refrigerator and boil some more pasta tomorrow!
