Tomato and Onion Salad
By the end of summer it seems like our garden is completely overflowing with beefsteak tomatoes! To use them up quickly, my daughter and I often make this super easy Tomato and Onion Salad with a homemade vinaigrette. Simple is always my very favorite way to go, especially in the summer.
Ingredients
For your salad:
- 4 large ripe beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes
- 1 sweet onion
- a small handful of fresh mint leaves or other fresh herbs of your choice
For the light vinaigrette:
- 2 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsps white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 small cloves fresh garlic, minced
Instructions
- n a small jar, combine all of your vinaigrette ingredients.
- Shake well until all the ingredients are well incorporated; set aside.
- Slice your tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices.
- Thinly slice the onion into rings and finely chop your mint leaves.
- Lay a few tomato slices onto a platter. Add some onion rings on top then continue with layers of tomatoes alternating with onions as shown.
- Drizzle your dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle with mint leaves and serve immediately.
