Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is the key to making a delicious salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and feel heavy for their size.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only about half the amount.
  • Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can marinate the salad for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the salad at room temperature. This allows the flavors to shine. If you chill the salad, the flavors will be muted.
  • Pair the salad with your favorite protein. This salad is a great side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or steak. You can also add some crumbled cheese or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This marinated herbed tomato salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a ripe tomato on hand, give this salad a try!
