A tomato salad is fresh, simple, and full of flavor 🍅✨ It’s all about letting ripe tomatoes shine.
Basic tomato salad
Ingredients:
- Ripe tomatoes (sliced or chopped)
- Olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
Optional add-ins:
- Red onion or shallots (thinly sliced)
- Fresh basil or parsley
- Mozzarella or feta cheese
- Balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
- Cucumber or avocado
How to make it:
- Cut the tomatoes and place them in a bowl or on a plate.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle with olive oil (and vinegar if using).
- Add herbs or extras and gently toss.
Tips
- Salt the tomatoes just before serving to keep them juicy, not watery.
- Use room-temperature tomatoes for the best flavor.
If you’d like, I can suggest a classic Italian-style tomato salad or a quick summer version with ingredients you already have.
