The TOMATO SALAD is a typical dish of the SICILIAN summer season, which accompanies many main courses, from meat to fish, or as a refreshing dish after a hot day.
At the fruit and vegetable market, the focus during this season is tomatoes, which are characterized by a soft pulp with a pleasantly aromatic flavor; they are rich in healthy properties for your well-being.
First of all, they contain a good amount of water and vitamins. According to some research, they also contain natural antioxidants that can protect cells from aging.
Today’s tomato salad is a straightforward recipe flavored exclusively with Sicilian oregano and Sicilian olives. To finish seasoning it with excellent quality EVO oil, I have a superb oil sent from Sicily every year.
