There’s no better way to use fresh garden tomatoes than in this Tomato and Onion Salad. Paired with fresh herbs and homemade tomato vinaigrette, it’s packed with Italian flavors and is so refreshing.
Roughly chop the tomato. Add all the ingredients to a mason jar, using a hand blender or blender, and blend until smooth. Remove the cores of the tomato. But leave the seeds, they will add a great flavor.
Adjust seasoning to your liking. Add any additional salt if needed.
Tomato Salad
Place cut tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, capers, and fresh herbs in a large serving bowl.
Add dressing and gently toss together. Adjust seasoning and enjoy with crusty bread, your favorite protein or pasta.
Notes
If using larger tomatoes (such as heirloom, beefsteak, etc.), salad is best served immediately. Those tomatoes will need to be cut into chunks (versus halved or quartered) and will soften quicker than smaller tomatoes.
For best results, use only ripe fresh tomatoes for this recipe.
This dressing will last in the refrigerator for up to a week.
