Salad with tomatoes and green peas
4 servings
20 minutes
Tomato and green pea salad is a light, refreshing dish perfect for warm summer days. Its roots can be found in European cuisine, where the simplicity of ingredients blends with exquisite flavors. The sweetness of honey and the tartness of lemon juice harmoniously intertwine with the tenderness of tahini and the depth of soy sauce, creating an amazing balance in the dressing. Sesame oil adds a light nutty note, while juicy tomatoes and crunchy green peas make the salad texturally rich. This salad is ideal as a standalone dish or as a side to fish or chicken. Marinating in the fridge allows the flavors to develop, making each bite even more intense and aromatic.
