Sun-dried tomato salad brings together concentrated, chewy dried tomatoes with ingredients such as parsley, onion and olive oil. It draws on the flavours of Mediterranean cooking, including the home-style salads and meze served in Turkey; recipes vary according to how the tomatoes are dried and seasoned.
The tomatoes taste sweet-tart and savoury, while fresh herbs and onion add brightness and bite. Serve it as a small side with grilled vegetables, bread or a larger meal, or add it to a mezze spread. It offers fibre alongside the tomatoes’ naturally occurring plant compounds; a 100 g serving has 4.8 g of fibre. If the tomatoes are especially firm, briefly soften them in warm water before mixing, and use a light hand with the oil for a less rich salad.

Sun-dried tomato salad is made by tossing softened, sliced sun-dried tomatoes with parsley, thinly sliced onion, olive oil, and lemon juice. Taste the tomatoes before seasoning, since oil-packed or salted ones can make the finished salad salty.
Sun-dried tomato salad pairs well with grilled vegetables, fish, meat, crusty bread, or a grain bowl. Its concentrated, tangy flavor also works as a sandwich filling; use it as a sharp counterpoint to milder dishes.
Yes, soak very dry, chewy tomatoes in warm water until pliable, then drain and pat them dry before making sun-dried tomato salad. Oil-packed tomatoes are usually soft enough to slice without soaking.
Yes, oil-packed tomatoes work well in sun-dried tomato salad. Drain them first and use less additional oil in the dressing; the packing oil can also add flavor, but only use it if it smells fresh and has been stored safely.
Yes, you can prepare sun-dried tomato salad ahead, but parsley and onion soften as they sit. For the freshest texture, mix the dressing and tomatoes first, then add the chopped herbs and onion closer to serving.
Sun-dried tomato salad keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days. Fresh onion and parsley lose their texture over time, so it is best enjoyed sooner rather than stored for an extended period.
Yes, sun-dried tomato salad can be turned into a pasta salad by folding it through cooked, cooled pasta. Add the tomatoes and dressing gradually, since their concentrated flavor can dominate a larger bowl.
Sun-dried tomato salad is usually served at room temperature or chilled, rather than hot. Letting it sit briefly after mixing helps the parsley, onion, and dressing flavor the tomatoes; refrigerate leftovers promptly.
Sun-dried tomato salad can taste salty because tomatoes are sometimes salted during drying or preserved in brine. Rinse or briefly soak very salty tomatoes, drain them well, and avoid adding salt until you have tasted the dressed salad.
Freezing sun-dried tomato salad is not recommended because parsley and onion turn limp and watery after thawing. Freeze plain softened tomatoes separately if needed, then make a fresh salad with herbs and dressing when you are ready to serve.
