Magic Tomato Salad With a Bold, Zesty Garlic Dressing

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • 1. Prep the tomatoes. Wash and pat them dry, then cut into slices, wedges, or bite-sized chunks and place in a large serving bowl.
  • 2. Make the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, water, salt, sugar, paprika, and garlic. Taste and adjust, adding cayenne or chili for heat.
  • 3. Add the bell pepper. Stir the finely chopped pepper into the dressing for color and a sweet crunch.
  • 4. Toss gently. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and mix carefully so they are well coated but not crushed.
  • 5. Add the herbs. Scatter the chopped dill and parsley generously over the top.
  • 6. Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld.
  • 7. Serve. Enjoy cold or at room temperature, as a side or a light main with toasted bread or couscous.
