The best tomato salad. Step by step recipe

1. In order to make the salad very tasty, we should choose the right tomatoes at the time of purchase. The color, variety and shape of the tomato does not matter. The most important thing is that our tomatoes are firm: then our salad will be perfect. Tomatoes in the form of plums are best.
2. My tomatoes and dried. We cut them into two equal parts, in length. Be sure to remove the stalk: do this always, in any dish that you cook with tomatoes.
3. We cut each half of the tomato along thin plates resembling flower petals.
4. If, nevertheless, you bought tomatoes very juicy, it is better to drain the excess juice that has stood out.
5. Peel the onions and cut into thin half rings. I put only half the onion in the salad. You can put as you like: either more or less.
6. We put tomatoes and onions in a salad bowl.
7. Now it’s time to do some delicious salad dressing that will make it unusual. For dressing, take a bowl and pour olive oil into it. For refueling, ordinary sunflower oil is also suitable.
8. Add honey to the oil: it must be liquid, not sugared.
9. It's time to add Himalayan salt to the dressing.
10. Tip: Himalayan salt must be pink. But some manufacturers produce fakes: ordinary table salt is colored pink with food colors and sold at a very high price. In order not to fall for the bait of such deceivers, be sure to look at the packaging of the country of manufacture. You will surely be sure that this is natural Himalayan salt, if the producers are Pakistan, India or Nepal: where it is mined.
11. For absolute certainty, salt can be dissolved in water and left under a closed lid for exactly one day. If during this time the salt does not turn white, and the water does not turn pink, then the salt is real. Well, and if you do not have such salt, it does not matter, you should not be upset: it can be replaced with the most ordinary salt.
12. Add black ground and cayenne pepper to the dressing. The second name of cayenne pepper is chili. I think everyone has it in the kitchen.
13. It remains only to add wine vinegar and mix. By the way, wine vinegar can be replaced with apple or rice vinegar, in extreme cases - with lemon juice.
14. Pour the dressing on our vegetables and mix with a spoon or two forks. Do this carefully so that the tomatoes remain intact and do not fall apart when mixed.
15. Sprinkle salad with Tuscan herbs, which include bay leaf, basil, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and sage. A mixture of Tuscan herbs can be replaced with Provencal herbs: the taste of the salad will change slightly, but it will not get worse.
16. Tomato salad with onions, mix again and transfer to serving plates, or serve in a large salad bowl. Be sure to decorate the salad with fresh basil leaves. Basil can also be finely chopped and sprinkled on top of the salad.
