Sicilian Tomato & Onion Salad

Recipe #100069 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Little Bee

I found this recipe in an attempt for something different to use up an over abundance of summer tomatoes! The garlic salt brings out the juices in the tomatoes, it works as an acid, so there is no need for vinegar. My family just went nuts over this! Great as a side dish or as a lite lunch! The ratio of vegetables can be adjusted to suit your own taste.

Perfect for those delicious summer garden tomatoes and sweet vidalias! I have made this salad multiple times now adding only a touch of vinegar as we do like our tomato salads with a bit of a tangy bite. Thanks, Little Bee, for another wonderful recipe!

    A refreshing salad. Next time I may try grapeseed oil because it has a lighter flavor than EVOO. Having leftovers for lunch today - thanks!

    Finally Someone Knows Greatness !! Never add vinegar to tomatoes. My family has done this forever and we squeeze the toms first to release the juices then add the rest of ingredients...let it set like you said then get your crusty bread and dip in the juices aka zuccole....Yummm

    I agree with another reviewer about adding vinegar to tomatoes--I'm still not sure what it is about the combination I don't like. This recipe bypasses that problem, and it's easy enough to just "eyeball" measurements when adding ingredients to the tomatoes.
