Tomato Basil And Red Onion Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes horizontally into 1/4-inch slices. (Remember that a sharp blade is required to slice very ripe tomatoes.) Arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, on a large oval or round gratin dish.
• Cut the peeled onion into 1/8-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into rings and arrange over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, vinegar and oil, coating the whole surface as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the shredded basil on top and serve at room temperature. This goes well with a crunchy, crusty French bread.

Steps:

• Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a shallow platter. Sprinkle the sugar on the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Layer the onion rings on top of tomatoes. Garnish with chopped basil. Mix the vinegar and olive oil in a bowl and pour over the tomatoes and onions. Toss gently.

Steps:

• Arrange alternating slices of tomatoes and onions on a serving platter. Drizzle with vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with torn basil leaves.

Steps:

• Use fully ripened fresh tomatoes; core and chop coarsely.
• In a saucepan, bring vinegar to a simmer.
• Add onions and garlic; simmer until softened, 3 to 5 minutes; cool.
• In a bowl, gently combine tomatoes with basil, cumin, coriander, mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil; stir in onion mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve over grilled fish, asparagus, baked potatoes, black bean cakes, or other fish, poultry and vegetables.

Steps:

• Pour vinegar into small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. Place bread in large bowl. Pour in enough cold water (about 8 cups) to cover bread. Soak 5 minutes. Drain well; squeeze bread to remove as much liquid as possible. Coarsely crumble bread into same bowl. Add tomatoes, onion and basil. Toss with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season salad generously with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature before serving.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the cucumbers, vinegar, sugar and salt. Let stand at room temperature for an hour, stirring occasionally.
• Add tomatoes, onion, Basil and oil to cucumbers and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
