Chef Chuck's Tomato Salad


Insalata di Pomodori

This simple tomato salad consists of garden fresh tomatoes, red onions, fresh oregano and a couple of ice cubes for bread dunking goodness!! I enjoy that tomato onion flavor. This is my Mom's recipe, she makes it every summer.


Tomato Salad
4 ripe tomatoes, quartered
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
a splash of red wine vinegar
a healthy drizzle of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 or 4 ice cubes


Core tomatoes and cut into quarters, place in a bowl, add all other ingredients gently stir and serve. Can be refrigerated and is tastier the next day.

  4. Now this is the salad I grew up on. Didn't matter who's Italian home we had dinner at, this was always on the table! I can't say I appreciated the flavors back then, but its simplicity is appealing as an adult.

  6. Hi Chuck, my mother makes a similar salad... everything but the vinegar. For some reason, she won't add vinegar to a tomato salad. Either way, it's a great summer salad.
