Easy Tomato Salad

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the tomato salad immediately, or allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time allows the tomatoes to release their juices, which adds more flavor to the dressing.
• If desired, garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. The fresh basil adds an aromatic touch that perfectly complements the tomatoes.
• This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or as a light starter before a meal. It’s also a great addition to a Mediterranean-inspired meal.

Notes

• Feel free to customize this salad by adding other ingredients, such as cucumbers, feta cheese, or olives. A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts can add some extra crunch and flavor.
• For a more substantial salad, you can add protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas. This transforms it into a satisfying meal on its own.
• This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits, but the texture of the tomatoes may soften.
