Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges or rounds. Place the sliced tomatoes in a large bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin rings or half-moons. Add the onion slices to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and granulated sugar until well combined. This will be your dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tomato and onion mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat the tomatoes and onions evenly with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your preference.
Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
