Categories     Salad     Olive     Onion     Tomato     No-Cook     Picnic     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Feta     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 ripe large tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, pitted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Arrange tomatoes on platter. Top with onion slices. Drizzle oil and vinegar over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour. Sprinkle cheese, olives and parsley over salad and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly soft texture.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Different types of tomatoes offer different flavors and textures. Try using a mix of cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: Use a large bowl or platter so that the tomatoes have room to spread out.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Feta cheese, olives, onions, and cucumbers are all classic additions to a tomato salad. You can also add herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette or olive oil dressing is all you need to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
  • Let the salad marinate: This will allow the flavors to meld together. If you're short on time, you can marinate the salad for as little as 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate the salad for up to 2 hours.
