Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes and onions: This will help to prevent the tomatoes from getting crushed and the onions from getting bruised.
- Slice the tomatoes and onions thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad to life. Experiment with different combinations of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices to find a dressing that you love.
- Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Serve the salad chilled: This will help to keep the tomatoes and onions crisp.
