Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat the tomatoes dry. Slice them into thin rounds or wedges, depending on your preference. Place the slices or wedges into a large bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into rings or half-rings. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes and onions. Toss gently to combine and coat the vegetables evenly.
Wash and finely chop the fresh parsley. Sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately at room temperature or lightly chilled.
