Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Slice them into thin wedges and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add the onion slices to the salad bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the distilled white vinegar, olive oil, granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the tomato salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly. Be careful not to mash the tomatoes while mixing.
Let the salad marinate at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or refrigerate if serving later.
Serve the salad as a side dish at room temperature or chilled, garnished with extra parsley or dill, if desired.
