Chop ripe tomatoes and onion, then toss them with pitted olives. Dress the salad with olive oil and lemon juice, adding herbs such as parsley if you like. Mix it shortly before serving so the tomatoes stay fresh and firm.
Yes, olive, tomato and onion salad can be a nourishing part of a meal. Olives provide mostly monounsaturated fats, while tomatoes and onions contribute antioxidants; the olives can also make the dish quite salty, so taste before adding salt.
Both black and green olives work well in olive, tomato and onion salad. Black olives usually give a mellower, richer taste, while green olives bring a sharper, brinier note. Choose pitted olives for easier eating.
A simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice suits olive, tomato and onion salad without overpowering it. Red-wine vinegar is another option; use a light hand because the olives already bring salt and a strong savory flavor.
Olive, tomato and onion salad is associated with Mediterranean cooking, where these ingredients are commonly served together. It does not have one universally agreed origin; recipes vary by region, household, olive variety and choice of herbs or acid.
Use firm, ripe tomatoes and cut them shortly before serving olive, tomato and onion salad. If the tomatoes are especially juicy, remove their seeds and watery centers, then add the dressing at the last moment.
Olive, tomato and onion salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, kebabs, beans or crusty bread. Its bright, briny flavor is especially useful alongside rich grilled foods, and it also works as part of a Mediterranean-style spread.
Yes, crumbled feta makes olive, tomato and onion salad creamier and more savory. Since both feta and olives are salty, taste the finished salad before adding extra salt; add the cheese just before serving to keep its texture.
You can chop the onion and prepare the olives ahead, but wait to cut the tomatoes and dress olive, tomato and onion salad until close to serving. This keeps the vegetables firmer and prevents liquid from collecting in the bowl.
Store leftover olive, tomato and onion salad in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it by the next day. The tomatoes soften and release liquid as it sits, so drain excess liquid before serving rather than keeping it at room temperature.

Olive, tomato and onion salad brings together chopped tomatoes and onion with sliced or whole olives. A simple Mediterranean-style combination, it is often finished with olive oil and lemon, with herbs added according to taste.
The olives lend a briny, fruity note, while juicy tomato and sharp onion keep each bite fresh. It works as a side for grilled foods, alongside bread, or as part of a mezze-style spread; at home, it is an easy way to use ripe tomatoes. Olives provide monounsaturated fats, and tomatoes and onions contribute antioxidants. The salad is relatively light and offers some fibre. For a lighter dressing, use less oil and let lemon juice bring the ingredients together.
