Minty Onion Tomato Salad

"This is from an old booklet put out by the Walla Walla Gardeners Association. Walla Walla is in SW Washington state, where the sweetest onions outside of Vidalia, GA are grown! (how's that for diplomacy!)"

  1. This salad is awesome! I knew I would love it as soon as I saw it. Such simple ingredients and so fresh. I hid the very last bit to have on my toast for breakfast and that was awesome too! Thanks Mikekey.
     
  2. Very delicious!! I used vindalia onion, plum tomatoes, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the fresh mint. I didn't refrigerate so long but will try that next time with real garden fresh tomatoes and mint insha Allah (God willing). Made for *** RAMADAN RECIPE TAG - 2011 ***
     
  3. I was so not sure about this salad. No dressing and so simple and also did not know what to ecpect. Well I have to say this salad was outstanding, I am not a big fan of mint, and yet the mint worked so well with this salad! I dont know why but the flavours took me back to my childhood, I dont remember Mum ever making anything like this but for some reason the flavours just reminded me of childhood days.....if that makes sense! I used salad onions but everything else was the same and kept in the fridge for only about an hour (next time and yes there definately will be a next time) I will leave longer. So refreshing and such wonderful flavours, makes you just keep going back for more! I can hardly wait to taste this with my home grown tomatoes, the taste will surely be wonderful. What more can you ask....simple, easy and great tasting! Thanks mikekey just the thing I need for this summer! This will be made time and time again.
     
  4. I was so nicely surprised by this salad! I was intrigued as there was no dressing and didn't know what to expect. Walla walla onion is N/A and I got permission to use regular one with the warning that it might be too strong. My salad stayed in the fridge for about 7 hours before I got to eat it and the onions got soft and lost some of their strengh but they overpowered the mint. For mint I used my own Recipe #335718 and I skipped the salt as the paste had already. Thanks for a nice and light salad.
     
  5. Fresh is the word when describing this gem of a recipe. Serious taste here that makes you coming back for more. I made this tomato salad to accompany scallops and it was the perfect marriage. The lightness of the scallops and the freshness of the tomato, walla walla onion, the fresh mint from the back porch and the s&p sitting atop a thick sliced beef sized tomato was enchanting. I threw some fresh baby spinach leaves underneath and added a fork :) Yum plus here from the farm. Made for Everyday is a Holiday May 2009
