Tomato salad with onion is a simple yet exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that embodies the spirit of Mediterranean gastronomy. This salad is rooted in the traditions of simple and fresh summer appetizers enjoyed in the sunny cities of Italy. Sweet, juicy tomatoes harmoniously blend with the sharpness of onions, while a pinch of red pepper adds a light spiciness. The taste is rich and refreshing, with a subtle balance of sweetness and heat. This dish is perfect as a standalone appetizer or as an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes. It can be served with crusty bread, drizzled with olive oil or balsamic vinegar to enhance the freshness of the ingredients. Its simplicity makes it a favorite choice for light family dinners or festive gatherings.
