Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 1 portion. If you want a larger yield, simply multiply the quantities in the recipe by the number of portions you need.
- SERVING: This tomato salad is usually served as a light side dish to the main meal. Enjoy it with a salad spoon, regular spoon, or fork. Serve immediately, or chill the salad in the fridge before serving.
- For best results, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are also suitable for the salad. If you use cherry tomatoes, which are smaller, increase the quantity proportionally.
- You can add freshly chopped green parsley, a typical Czech herb, to the salad. Use about ¼ teaspoon of parsley leaves per serving.
