Tomato Salad with Mint
This Tomato Salad with Mint combines fresh, juicy tomato chunks with bright, cooling mint and thinly sliced shallots, all dressed in a lemony olive oil mixture. The salad offers a refreshing texture and flavorful contrast from the acidity of lemon and peppered seasoning, suitable for a light side dish. Allowing the salad to rest at room temperature helps the mint infuse its flavor into the tomatoes for a balanced taste.
