Introduction: German tomato salad is a true summer classic and a must-have for any barbecue or outdoor lunch. Fresh, juicy tomatoes combined with aromatic herbs and a light dressing make this salad a true delight. This simple recipe provides the perfect balance between the sweetness of the tomatoes and the spiciness of the onions and herbs. Ideal as a side dish to meat or fish dishes, or simply as a refreshing meal on warm days.
Ingredients:
6-8 ripe tomatoes (depending on size)
1 small red onion
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine or apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the tomatoes)
1 handful of fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Preparation Method:
Prepare the tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and cut into even slices or cubes, depending on your preference. For a more elegant look, you can also slice the tomatoes thinly.
Chop the onion: Peel the onion and slice into thin rings or half rings. If you want to mellow the flavor of the onion, you can briefly soak the onion rings in cold water and let them drain.
