Salad with tomato and onion brings ripe tomatoes together with thinly sliced onion, often finished with fresh herbs such as parsley. It is a simple home-style salad found across Turkey and the wider Mediterranean, with variations that add lemon juice or a little olive oil.
Juicy, gently sweet tomatoes balance the onion’s sharper bite. In Turkey it commonly accompanies grilled meats and kebabs, but it also works as a light side for everyday meals; crusty bread is handy for soaking up the tomato juices. Mostly water, with some fibre, it is a naturally light choice. Keep it especially fresh and light with lemon instead of much oil, or serve it alongside beans, eggs or another more filling dish.
