Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 ripe tomatoes, sliced or chopped
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine or balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley

Instructions
- Begin by preparing your tomatoes and onion. Choose firm but ripe tomatoes and slice or chop them into bite-sized pieces. Then, take your red onion and thinly slice it. Add both the tomatoes and the red onion to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, and optional sweetener—be it sugar or honey. Season this dressing with a sprinkle of salt and a twist of black pepper.
- Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the tomatoes and onions in the large bowl. Toss the salad gently.
- Set your marinated salad aside at room temperature for about 15–30 minutes.
- Add fresh herbs and any optional ingredients before serving.

Use seasonal tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom varieties work wonderfully in this salad.
