I just love plum tomatoes and they work so well in this Vegan Tomato & Red Onion Salad. It is so simple, yet elegant and gluten free too!
We have been lucky enough to travel to Spain several times and we really love the region of Andalucia. The city of Malaga is a favourite and being able to catch-up with young friends there. So, in these times of uncertainty around safe travel, the colours and flavours of this vegan tomato & red onion salad, especially with the garlic, really brings a little bit of Spain to our English table.
I have used smoked garlic but you can use un-smoked garlic, it will still taste delicious ????.
Preparation is quick and easy!
Slicing the red onion and garlic as thin as you can, adds to the elegant look of this dish.
Leaving the onion and garlic to sit in the oil and salt for 20 minutes, allows them to soften and take any bitterness out before adding the tomatoes.
Once the tomatoes have been added and gently stirred in, the dish is ready to serve. Just add freshly torn basil leaves.
Why not serve as part of a Mediterranean mezze with my Vegan Red Cabbage Slaw, and my Amazing Vegan Miso Hummus or with my Delicious Creamy Vegan Guacamole and my Vegan Salt and Pepper Potato Wedges!
