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.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3-4 large ripe tomatoes
1/2-1 medium sweet onions, depending on how much onion you like (Vidallia is my favorite)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
4-6 leaves fresh basil, chopped to garnish (depending on how much Basil you like)

Directions

1
Cut tomatoes into bite size pieces.
2
Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
3
Peel a cut onion in half vertically.
4
Along edge of open side, “sliver” cut onion and add to tomatoes.
5
Add the rest of ingredients and toss lightly.
6
Marinate for at least an hour.
7
Serve with Italian bread, provolone cheese and hard salami (or other Italian meats.).

Very nice recipe. It was light and refreshing. I had it as a side dish with balsamic chicken and the balsamic added a little zing to it. I think I will add a little balsamic next time. Thanks for the recipe.

This is gorgeous. I don't like the taste of vinegar and tomatoes so this was a treat. I had loads of parsley and basil so I chopped some into the mix with some chives as well as the onion to give it all extra colour. It was very very nice. We are on the Atkins diet and it is Atkins friendly and delicious.

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

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!
