Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs medium size tomatoes cut in half and then quartered (about 6 cups)
- 2 cups parsley leaves fresh, Italian, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup capers drained
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil good quality
- 1 lemon juiced about 1/4 cup
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently toss the tomatoes, parsley, red onion, capers, and garlic. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the tomato mixture and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

Notes
Use medium size Campari or cocktail tomatoes for this tomato salad. Slice into quarters from stem to stem and be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best fruity taste.
