I studied abroad after I finished high school here in Wichita, KS. I attended Gymnasium in Germany (similar to American high school) and while there, I learned a lot of old German recipes and tips that you can only learn there.
As you may know, I only do about 5% of the cooking in our home – Paul enjoys it and so do I 😀 – but when I do cook, I tend to stick with what I learned while abroad. For this tomato salad you’ll only need a few ingredients and it’s super simple and quick to whip up as a side.

It looks like the salad has the onions in it, but I just want to make sure… After squeezing the onion juice in do you put the onions in too?
I’m super excited to try this!
Yep! Squeeze them as hard as you can and add them to it. They are super thinly sliced so it is hard to see. 🙂 Let me know how you like it!
could you use a salt substitute like “No Salt”? to cut down in sodium
You might be able to, but I’m not sure what it would do to the flavor.
