Lebanese Tomato Salad

 

My little oriental market

  • The stars: My Campari tomatoes chosen very ripe for their sweet taste
  • The essentials: A large red pepper that will give body to the sauce
  • The punch: Beautiful, well-flavored garlic cloves
  • My spice treasures: Smoked paprika and my sumac brought back from Lebanon
  • Liquid gold: My best olive oil to sublimate everything
  • The green touch: Fresh parsley from my small garden
  • The basics: Salt and freshly ground pepper for balance

My step-by-step method

The freshness base
I cut my tomatoes into nice regular wedges so that they take the sauce well.
The magic of sauce
In my blender, I turn my pepper and garlic into a silky sauce. I add my spices, my olive oil, everything must be well mixed.
The perfect union
I pour my sauce over my tomatoes, mix gently, then add my parsley.
Time for rest
Patience is key, I let the flavors marry for half an hour.
