Tomatoes with Garlicky White Sauce and Oregano

Heirloom tomatoes chopped on a plate with garlicky white sauce drizzled over the top.
Peden + Munk

This sauce tastes like a cross between ranch and Alabama white sauce, which means you can basically put it on anything.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 servings

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup evaporated milk
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 pounds mixed heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1½-inch pieces
1 tablespoon oregano leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk mayonnaise, evaporated milk, garlic, a big pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. (It should be the consistency of pancake batter.)

    Step 2

    Toss tomatoes with a big pinch of salt in a large bowl, then transfer to a platter. Drizzle sauce over to your liking (you don’t need to use all of it) and top with oregano. Grind more pepper over.
