Greek Tomato And Onion Salad (Domatosalata)
Enjoy a refreshing Greek tomato and onion salad (Domatosalata) with fresh basil, olive oil, and oregano. A perfect summer side dish!
Ingredients
- 4 Tomatoes Medium sized
- 1 Red onion Medium sized
- 5 grams Fresh basil
- ¼ cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges. If they are large, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes and red onion.
- Tear the fresh basil leaves, chopping them slightly if needed to keep the pieces manageable, and add to the salad.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss everything together to ensure the tomatoes, onions, and basil are well coated with olive oil and seasoning.
Notes
- Onion Preparation: For a milder flavour, you can soak the red onion slices in cold water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the salad. Drain well before use.
- Cucumbers: If you'd like to add cucumbers to the salad, thinly slice them and toss them with the tomatoes and onions. The cucumbers will add extra crunch and freshness to the dish.
- Red Wine Vinegar: If you add cucumbers, a splash of red wine vinegar can elevate the flavour and add a pleasant acidity.
- Tomato Tip: Avoid cutting the tomatoes too small or using tomatoes that are too ripe. Both of these mistakes can lead to a mushy salad.
