Tomato salad with olive oil is a simple Mediterranean-style dish of ripe tomatoes, sliced or roughly chopped and dressed with olive oil. It is common in Turkish home cooking and across the region, where the ingredients may be kept simple or joined by onion and fresh herbs.
The tomatoes are juicy, bright and lightly tart, while the oil adds a fruity richness. Serve it as a side with grilled fish, meat or beans, or alongside bread as part of a meze-style spread. Tomatoes contribute plenty of water and some fibre; the olive oil supplies most of the salad’s fat and adds energy. Use just enough oil to coat the tomatoes, and spoon up the juices with bread.
