Instructions

  1. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and place them in a salad bowl.
  2. Add the sliced onions and let them sit for 5 minutes with a little salt so they lose their bitterness.
  3. Add the chopped dill, parsley or coriander, the sliced chili and the crushed garlic.
  4. Season with the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, then mix gently.
  5. Let it rest for 10 minutes in the fridge before serving.

Variations and tips

Lemon shakarap. Replace the vinegar with the juice of one lemon for a fresher, tangier salad.
