Ingredients
- tomatoes - 500 g (about 3 medium-sized, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- red onions - 2 small (thinly sliced)
- fresh parsley - 1 tbsp (finely chopped)
- fresh basil - 1 tbsp (finely chopped; can substitute with dill)
- garlic - 1 large clove (finely chopped or grated)
- extra virgin olive oil - 4 tbsp
- fresh lemon juice - 1 tbsp (freshly squeezed)
- apple cider vinegar - 1 tbsp
- salt - to taste
- chili flakes - watch the video to see (optional, for a slight spicy kick)
- honey - watch the video to see (optional, to balance acidity)
Instructions
- Prepare Tomatoes and Onions: Wash tomatoes thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onions. Place both in a bowl.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Garlic: Add finely chopped parsley, basil (or dill), and finely chopped or grated garlic to the bowl with tomatoes and onions.
- Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, chili flakes (optional), and honey (optional) until well combined.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the vinaigrette over the tomato mixture. Gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to break the tomatoes and lose their juice.
- Let Flavors Develop: Allow the salad to rest for 5–10 minutes so the flavors can meld and develop.
- Serve: Serve the tomato salad as is, or optionally topped with crumbled feta cheese and accompanied by grilled pita bread.
