Italian Tomato Salad
This refreshing Italian tomato salad is a simple concoction of cherry tomatoes, red onion, and dried oregano, tossed with a simple red wine dressing. Unlike caprese salad, this recipe doesn't include mozzarella. Instead, a quick marinade highlights the tomatoes' natural sweetness in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons red onion sliced thinly or diced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Add the tomatoes, red onion, oregano, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Pour in the vinegar and toss, then add the olive oil and do the same. Taste/adjust for seasoning. Enjoy!
Notes
General Notes:
- Add the vinegar before adding the olive oil. The tomatoes will absorb the vinegar more readily, and the olive oil will help seal in the flavor.
- This salad tastes best when made a couple of hours ahead, but it's also good served fresh.
- You can let it reach room temperature for an even better flavor.
