Instructions
The tomatoes
- If desired, you can emote the tomatoes : cut a small cross on the bottom of each tomato and submerge them in boiling water for 10-20 seconds. Then move them to a bowl of cold water and peel off the skin.
- Slice or portion the tomatoes with a tomato knife.
- Arrange the tomato slices or wedges on a plate or platter.
- Shred the onion finely or or in long strips. Scatter over the tomatoes.
Vinaigrette
- Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey (or maple syrup) in a small bowl. Mix well with a whisk until the ingredients are well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Just before serving
- Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes.
- If using basil, add it to the salad now.
Notes
There are several spices you can use to add variety to your tomato salad. Here are some classic and possible variations:
- Basil: This herb is a classic choice for tomato salads because of its sweet and slightly tangy flavor that goes well with the freshness of the tomatoes.
- Parsley: Parsley adds a light and grassy flavor to the salad, which can be a nice contrast to the sweetness of the tomatoes.
- Mint: Mint can add a fresh and aromatic touch to your tomato salad, which is especially refreshing in the summer.
- Oregano: This is another classic herb often used in tomato dishes, thanks to its earthy and slightly spicy flavor.
- Thyme: Thyme has a subtle, woody flavor that goes well with the simplicity of the tomatoes and vinaigrette.
- Tarragon: Tarragon has a slight anise flavor that can add an interesting twist to your tomato salad.
- Coriander: For a more citrusy and tangy flavor, cilantro may be a good option.
- Rosemary: Rosemary has a strong, resinous flavor, so it is best to use it sparingly.
