Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by washing the ripe tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Slice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Chop the Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber (if desired) and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon, then chop it into half-moon slices. Add to the bowl with tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Onion

    Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the onion slices in cold water for a few minutes, then drain before adding to the salad.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bell Pepper

    Remove the seeds and stem from the bell pepper, then chop it into small pieces. Add to the mixing bowl.

  5. 5

    Add Basil

    Rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the salad mixture.

Dressing

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Toss

    Pour the dressing over the prepared salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the pomodoro salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Enjoy immediately as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
