Tomato Salad
Description
Tomato Salad brings together fresh wedges of tomato and red onion, coated lightly with red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. The salad is enhanced with gremolata, which adds a subtle citrus and herb flavor, and fresh basil leaves offer aromatic notes. The seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper balances and highlights the sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes.
The texture presents a combination of the soft, juicy tomato flesh with the slight crunch of thin onion slices. The simple tossing method ensures the ingredients are evenly coated without overwhelming the delicate flavors. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a refreshing accompaniment to sandwiches or light dinners.
