Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 500g) Fresh ripe tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 6 leaves, finely chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks, depending on your preference. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin rings or half-moons, depending on the size of the onion. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and basil. Set half of the basil aside for garnish and add the rest to the tomato mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and honey (if using). Add the black pepper and whisk again until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the tomato and onion mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to mingle. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish, garnish with the reserved basil, and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium Tomatensalat!
