Tomato Salad
Introducing our delightful tomato salad, a perfect pairing with perilla oil pasta! Its refreshing taste beautifully complements rich dishes. Let’s create this unique and invigorating tomato salad together!
Key Ingredients- Generous amount of fresh cherry tomatoes (adjust to your preference)
- 1/4 Onion (thinly sliced)
- A few fresh basil leaves (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh cherry tomatoes thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces, either in half or quarters. Avoid cutting them too small to prevent them from becoming mushy.
Step 2
Peel the onion and thinly slice it. If you prefer a milder taste, soak the sliced onion in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain it thoroughly before use for a smoother flavor.
Step 3
Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Then, chop them into a suitable size for garnish. The aromatic quality of basil will significantly enhance the salad’s appeal.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the prepared tomatoes, onions, and basil. Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce to season the salad. The soy sauce helps to balance the overall flavors.
Step 5
Add 1/2 tablespoon of oligosaccharide for a touch of sweetness. You can also use honey, and feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle in a bit of fresh perilla oil (or sesame oil) for a nutty aroma and rich flavor. Using fresh perilla oil will impart a deeper, more satisfying taste.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top for added texture and a delightful nutty finish.
Step 8
Gently toss all the ingredients together. Your vibrant and aromatic tomato salad is now ready! Enjoy this refreshing dish as a perfect accompaniment to pasta, steak, or any main course for a more complete meal.
