A Summer Favorite

This salad (along with cucumber tomato salad) is a summer staple for us. Fresh tomatoes, red onions, and a splash of vinegar make a great summer side or lunch dish! Just toss it all together in a large bowl.

  • Simple ingredients make the best fresh salads.
  • This dish is healthy and can be served as a side or add in some crusty bread to make it a main dish.
  • Add in fresh herbs and bocconcini or other garden vegetables for a tasty fresh tomato salad!

How to Make a Tomato Salad

This healthy tomato salad is really one of the most simple sides. Simply combine garden fresh tomatoes, onions, and a sprinkle of herbs.

Tomatoes – This tomato salad recipe is best during the summer months, peak tomato season, with they’re fresh off the vine. Use any kind of ripe tomatoes.

  • Cut large tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes into wedges or bite-sized chunks.
  • Cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes can be halved. You don’t need to drain the juices or remove the seeds.

Variations

Herbs – Fresh oregano, dill, fresh basil leaves, or mint.

Cheese – Try tomato salad with feta cheese or bocconcini (fresh mozzarella). Bocconcini is a ball of mozzarella cheese with a mild flavor. It is a soft cheese with a creamy texture and can be found in the deli department.

Other Additions – Add any of the following, a bit of minced garlic, avocado, garden vegetables, chopped bell pepper or fresh zucchini.

Tomato Salad Dressing

Simple is best. To make the Tomato Salad Dressing, toss the tomatoes with red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and salt & black pepper. If you prefer, you can use balsamic vinegar. 

For the herbs, I use whatever you have that is fresh.  Favorites are basil, dill, parsley, and oregano.

Serving Suggestions

I prefer to serve this dish at room temperature.

Pair it with grilled meat, like grilled chicken breast or grilled pork chops. 

If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, this salad keeps well in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to marinate.  I love eating it the next day for a healthy lunch.
