Tomato Onion Salad
Description
The Tomato Onion Salad is prepared by slicing about four ripe tomatoes into ¼-inch thick rings and layering them slightly overlapping with similarly cut red onion rings. The dressing combines extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, sea salt, and a touch of sugar to balance acidity and add subtle sweetness.
This dressing is drizzled evenly over the arranged tomato and onion slices and then finished with a sprinkle of finely sliced fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper. The combination highlights the fresh flavors of the vegetables without overpowering them, resulting in a light, refreshing salad ideal as a side dish.
Perfect for warm days or as an accompaniment to grilled meats or sandwiches, this salad offers a simple, vegetable-forward option that focuses on quality ingredients and bright flavors.
