A refreshing tomato salad with a dressing that kicks things up!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Dressing

2 pieces ginger, peeled (this is subjective. The pieces I cut are about 1/4" thick each)
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon vinegar, to taste or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Salad

2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped (I often use cherry tomatoes)
1/2 onion, chopped
3-4 sprigs fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped

Directions

1
Crush ginger using mortar and pestle to make fine paste.
2
Add garlic; crush with ginger.
3
Remove to small bowl; whisk in salt, sugar, vinegar and oil.
4
In bowl, mix tomatoes, onion and coriander.
5
Add salad dressing; toss lightly to coat.
6
Note: I often make this with a couple of cupfuls of cherry tomatoes, halving the larger ones.

Simple but really yummy! The ginger sets this apart from other salads of this type. I used the optional sugar. I'll be making this often while my cherry tomato plants are producing. Thanx!

I LOVE tomatoes naked and I wasn't super eager to try this, but my husband thought it might be a nice change. WOW am I glad we tried it. I LOVED the recipe. It's super easy to pull together and the flavours work so well. This will become part of our everyday recipes!

This tomato salad is super! The dressing adds so much zing, with the garlic, ginger and lemon juice (I didn't use the vinegar.) Very fresh and light. I opted not to use the sugar, and just added a tablespoon or so of oil because I don't like my salad dressings very oily. I did have a little problem making a fine paste of my ginger and garlic and ended up with some bits and pieces, but it's still fine. I've been trying to eat more fresh garlic and onions, and less processed and cooked foods (enzymes and all that nutrition stuff) and this recipe is just perfect. Thanks, Evelyn.
