Simple Tomato and Onion Salad
When we are on the road, you can bet that Dear is going to find a local farmer's market or produce stand. He loves fresh produce. Don't get me wrong, I love fresh fruits and veggies, too! He just goes a little overboard. Saturday he bought 8 tomatoes, 20 jalapeno peppers, 2 pounds of roasted peanuts, and 2 pints of strawberries. I just shook my head. In a travel trailer it's hard enough to store fresh produce, much less try to eat it all before it spoils.
I had two tomatoes that were very ripe today. Something HAD to be done with them. I decided to make tomato and onion salad. Sometimes I will peel and dice a cucumber to put in this salad. It's a great addition!
Just a few staple pantry ingredients for the dressing and VOILA! You will have a marinated salad!
Simple Onion and Tomato Salad
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 t Apple Cider Vinegar*
- 2 t white sugar**
- 2 t olive oil
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t black pepper
- In a mason jar with a lid, shake the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, olive oil, and black pepper together. No worries if you don't have a jar, just whisk the dressing in a bowl.
- Pour dressing over tomatoes and onions. Mix until everything is coated.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
*use any vinegar that you have on hand. Dear is on an Apple Cider Vinegar kick. He's a little behind on the ACV craze. 😆
**you can substitute Splenda, Stevia, or other sweetener instead of sugar.
Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking!
There you have it!
I like to eat it on top of a grilled hamburger patty, with a boiled egg, or add a scoop to a green salad!
It's a versatile dish. I hope you enjoy it!
Y'all come back!
