Magic Tomato Salad, you’ll never make it any other way.

Magic Tomato Salad

Ingredients

• 4–5 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges or chunks
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey or sugar
• Fresh basil, cilantro, or parsley
• Chili flakes or black pepper
• Flaky salt

Optional:

• Cucumber
• Feta
• Avocado
• Toasted sesame seeds

Method

1. Slice the tomatoes and onion and place in a bowl.
2. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and honey into a dressing.
3. Pour over the tomatoes and toss gently.
4. Let it sit 10–20 minutes so the tomatoes release their juices.
5. Finish with herbs, chili flakes, and flaky salt.

The “magic” is the combo of:

• tomato juice + soy sauce
• garlic + acid
• resting time

It creates a naturally rich dressing at the bottom of the bowl that’s perfect with crusty bread or rice.

Variations

• Add burrata for a richer version
• Use chili crisp for heat
• Add peaches or strawberries for sweetness
• Try smoked salt for extra depth
