Fresh and simple tomato salad with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, herbs, and optional onion and vinegar for a light and refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

  • Fresh tomatoes, sliced or chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley (optional)
  • 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the tomatoes, then place them in a bowl.
  2. If using, add thinly sliced red onion.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Add vinegar or lemon juice if desired.
  6. Gently toss everything together to avoid crushing the tomatoes.
  7. Top with fresh herbs and let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Adding salt too early can release excess water from tomatoes.
  • You can customize with feta, cucumbers, olives, or bell peppers.
  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best taste.
