Instructions

  1. Cut the tomatoes into wedges, then each wedge into medium pieces.
  2. Slice the onion very finely so it stays easy to digest and mild in the mouth.
  3. Roughly chop the parsley and add it to a salad bowl with the tomatoes and onion.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper until the dressing is smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and let it rest 10 minutes before serving so the tomatoes release a little juice.

Variations and tips

Mint version. Replace the parsley with a few fresh mint leaves, very nice with grilled meats.
