Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 500g) Fresh ripe tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
• 6 leaves, finely chopped Fresh basil leaves
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin wedges or bite-sized chunks, depending on your preference. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and slice the red onion into thin rings or half-moons, depending on the size of the onion. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh parsley and basil. Set half of the basil aside for garnish and add the rest to the tomato mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and honey (if using). Add the black pepper and whisk again until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the tomato and onion mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to mingle. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the salad to a serving dish, garnish with the reserved basil, and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium Tomatensalat!
