Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice them into thin wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into rings. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside 1 tablespoon for garnish. Add the remaining dill to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until the dressing is emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and onions. Gently toss the salad with a pair of salad tongs or clean hands to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the Swedish Tomato Salad to a serving platter and garnish with the reserved chopped dill for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
