Ingredients

  • 1 large tomato -chopped or sliced
  • 3 thin slices red onions
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic -minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and capers to a small bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
  • Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Let it rest briefly. If time allows, let the salad sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the tomatoes release their juices and create a light, flavorful dressing.
  • Slice onions thinly. Very thin slices blend into the salad better and prevent overpowering bites.
  • Start light on the dressing. Add a small amount first, toss, and add more only if needed so the tomatoes stay fresh and balanced.
