Sweet Tomato Salad

This is a basic, yet remarkably tasty salad and is a great way to use up any tomatoes and onions which are just laying around the kitchen.  Good for summer and pretty healthy to boot.  Give it a try because it only takes a few minutes to make.

How to make “Sweet Tomato Salad”

Ingredients

• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 1/4 onion
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Pinch of salt

Steps to make “Sweet Tomato Salad”

1. Insert a fork into the top of the tomatoes and plunge them into boiling water for 5 or 6 seconds.  Once removed, immediately run cold water over them and remove the skin.  This is known as “blanching” which briefly makes it easy to remove tomato skins.
2. Cut the tomatoes into thin wedges and finely chop the onion.
3. In a bowl, mix the vinegar and honey together well.  This will be our salad dressing.
4. Place the tomatoes on a plate with the chopped onion on top.  Sprinkle on a little salt and pour the salad dressing over the top.

Tip: If time permits, refrigerate for an hour to allow the flavors to blend in nicely.
