Tomato and onion pilaf salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the salad, prepare everything you need. Choose the most ripe and sweet tomatoes. If there are no fresh herbs, then you can use dried. I will add dried basil to the lard. Peppers will be more fragrant if you grind them with a mill directly into the salad.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and rinse in cold water. Then cut the peeled onion into thin rings. If you use large onions, then they can be cut into half rings.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the chopped onion in a deep dish and pour water with vinegar. I use 9% vinegar. Then soak the onion? Onions in vinegar will marinate well and become very tasty and fragrant. Leave the onion to stand for 15-20 minutes. Then drain the liquid from it and rinse with cold water once.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash tomatoes in running water from dirt. Cut each tomato into 2 parts, cut out the place of the stalk with a sharp knife and cut it into thin slices.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put the tomatoes in a salad bowl. Add fresh or dried herbs. You can use any bowl - plastic, glass or ceramic.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then add the pickled onion to the salad. Season the salad with a little salt and add ground peppers.

8. Step 7:

   

   Season the salad with olive oil. Sunflower oil can be used instead of olive oil.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix the salad thoroughly and cool a little in the refrigerator. Before serving, transfer the salad to a salad bowl. Serve a fragrant tomato salad with onions with pilaf. It perfectly complements a hearty pilaf with its juiciness and freshness. Enjoy your meal!
