Vine—Ripe Tomato Sorbet with Tomato Tartare and Basil Oil

This tomato sorbet dish is simpler to assemble than the salad of petite or cherry summer tomatoes. The sorbet can be made in a variety of flavors and colors by changing the type of tomato you use; Early Girl, Green Zebra, and Mandarin are just a few that work beautifully. It has a very clean flavor, so it also works perfectly as a plated canapé or all by itself as an intermezzo, or palate refresher between courses.
