Categories     Other Salads

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp "brown and spicy" mustard
2 Tbsp cider or red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
3 medium tomatoes, halved and sliced (or use halved cherry tomatoes)

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • 2. Add tomatoes; stir to mix. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Selecting the ripest tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are deep red in color, plump, and have no blemishes. For the best flavor, use tomatoes that are in season and locally grown.
  • Slicing the tomatoes: For a classic tomato salad, cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. If you want a more rustic look, you can cut the tomatoes into wedges or chunks.
  • Dressing the salad: The dressing for a tomato salad can be as simple as olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as herbs, spices, or cheese.
  • Adding other ingredients: In addition to tomatoes, you can add other ingredients to your salad, such as cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, or cheese. You can also add a protein source, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • Serving the salad: Tomato salad is best served fresh. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a few hours, but the tomatoes will start to lose their flavor over time.

Conclusion:

Tomato salad is a simple and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With its fresh, vibrant flavors, tomato salad is a perfect way to celebrate the summer season. Whether you prefer a classic tomato salad or a more creative version, there are many ways to enjoy this versatile dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tomato salad a try.
