Cooking time: 10 min

Step 1:
Prepare the necessary ingredients for making a sweet tomato salad. For such a salad, it is better to take tomatoes of good quality, ripe, fleshy, preferably homemade. A good variety is "Bull's heart". Sunflower seeds are already peeled. The pear will suit the "Conference" variety or another soft variety of pears. I have homemade pears.
Step 2:
First you need to prepare a sweet seed sauce. To do this, pour the washed peeled seeds with water and leave for a few hours. Then the water needs to be drained.
Step 3:
Wash and dry the pears. Peel off the skin, core and peduncle. Cut into cubes.
Step 4:
Put the sliced pear, soaked sunflower seeds (without water), apple cider vinegar and honey in the blender bowl. Puree until pasty.
Step 5:
The sauce is ready. Thanks to the seeds, the sauce turns out very satisfying, and thanks to honey - sweet.
Step 6:
In the end, it will not be a very photogenic salad, so in order to somehow photograph it, I cut the tomatoes into circles. For everyday personal use, cut tomatoes as you like. Put the chopped tomatoes in a salad bowl, season with the sunflower sauce, mix and serve.

Interesting information: for example, In Korea tomatoes are considered fruits (and not so long ago tomatoes were also considered fruits in the European Union). It is customary to eat them with milk or sugar, it is not uncommon to find cakes decorated with tomatoes, and not always cherry, but the most common. They say that there was tomato ice cream in the USSR, but few people remember it, because according to reviews it was tasteless and was not produced for a long time. And in Europe and America there is such ice cream now. Maybe no one will remember ice cream, but many will remember that as a child they ate tomatoes simply with sugar, so a sweet tomato salad is no longer news.
