Tomato and Sliced Sweet Onion Salad

Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal.

My mother made this for me a lot. My husband loves it too.It's best made in advance (e.g.: made at lunchtime for dinner), so that you can let it rest in the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time to let it get really cold and have the flavors settle in. Recipe by Inaemon

This is a copycat recipe of the tomato salad that a Genghis Khan (BBQ sliced lamb) restaurant serves. My husband, who does not like fresh tomatoes, loved it. And, he said it was better than the one at the restaurant.If you use sweet onions, they should not be too sharp tasting, but if you'd rather not have any sharpness, soak them in water to mellow the flavor. If you have enough time, chill the tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator until icy cold, then enjoy. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori

I absolutely love the combination of these flavors. I wanted everyone to try it at least once so I uploaded the recipe here!The oranges I used this time were small, so I used one per person, cut it into half and then sliced them into about 7-8 mm. If you have large oranges, cut them into quarters first.If you don't have sweet onions, use regular onions, soaked in salted water or massaged with a little salt to get rid of the harshness. For 2 servings. Recipe by rie-tin

I wanted to use up some cans.There's canned saury, sardines, mackerel, etc., so use whatever's available.You can season it with soy sauce or miso if you like.It's lightly flavored and delicious.Canned food is heavily flavored, so you don't need seasonings.Kids love it if you add a bit of mayonnaise. Recipe by Raireo

Both my husband and I get heartburn if we eat raw onions so I microwaved the onions and made them into a salad.Microwave the onion to your desired degree of doneness. If you don't get heartburn from raw onions, try this without cooking the onion. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and soy sauce to your taste. I recommend using a ton of bonito flakes on this! For about 2 servings. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

I came up with this recipe on the spur of the moment.Thinly slice the onions (you can use a slicer).This also tastes great topped with bonito flakes or chives. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I like kabocha salad, and made it with sweet onions.In Step 1, add a little water when boiling the kabocha for a tasty finish.Don't soak the onion in water for too long.It's nice if you add canned tuna too.You can use shio-koji instead of salt.It's still tasty even if you don't add onion.Homemade Mayonnaise.

I had some delicious sweet onions.Cutting the onion at a right angle helps mitigate its stinging spiciness.There's no need to soak the sweet onion in water or rub some salt in it. However, if you dislike its spiciness or if you're using regular onions, please prep them so they're not too strong in flavor.Do not chill the pork in ice water! This will make the meat excessively tough. Recipe by Oshisu

Refreshing and inexpensive. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten two servings 😋 We enjoyed this with baked beans and a stuffed roasted poblano.

I usually use onions and tuna because I like them stir-fried together. I thought it would be delicious if I used sweet onions and mixed fluffy spring potatoes with soy sauce. That's how it all came about.I added the soy sauce in two batches to enjoy its flavor.I recommend you mix the potatoes when they're hot while making sure not to mash them too much.Please adjust the cooking time for the potatoes since it can vary according to size.You can boil or steam the potatoes instead of microwaving them. For 4 serving. Recipe by creamcrepe

Our standard menu item when sweet onions are in season.We go light on seasoning in our home, so please adjust it to suit your taste. Recipe by suzu-ren

Tossing avocado and tomatoes with sweet chili sauce alone didn't work, so I added mayonnaise and turned it into a successful dish.You can cut the avocado and tomato in any shape, but I find this method makes it easy to toss with the dressing. The thickness of the sweet chili sauce depends on the brand, so adjust the amount to taste. Recipe by Mawaru7

I love cucumber salad but the full fat mayo version has too many calories. So I've created one that uses lighter ingredients but the taste isn't compromised. This is my "go to" side dish for so many meals now made with less guilt!

I've been coming up with recipes that uses canned mackarel to use up the emergency stock of canned food I bought.Step 1: If using regular onions, rub with some salt before soaking in water.Step 2: Flake the mackerel before topping. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I got some wakame as a gift, so I wanted to come up with something to use them up.My entire family loved this.This is a great way to use up wakame.You can also use tuna or ham instead of chicken ham.This is incredibly easy to make, so why don't you try tossing some homemade chicken ham!

Whenever sweet onions are in season, we enjoy this salad. This is a staple dish in our family.※ Try to slice the sweet onion as thin as possible. Soak in cold water so as to keep the sweet onions crisp (do not soak in water for too long.) For the sauce, you could use ponzu + mayo or bonito flakes + mayo, both are delicious. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

This salad goes well with spicy dishes. The sweet and sour mix also takes away the burn from spicy food!

This salad screams summer with fresh sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes from your garden or the farmers market. It won't last long in your fridge once you taste it but it will keep for several days (especially if you avoid salting the vegetables when you add your dressing). Use as a stand alone salad or pair with fish or chicken, great as a salsa for fish tacos. This fresh, healthy salad will help with these hot, hot days! Enjoy!

Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔

With this recipe, sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness to the usual potato salad with mayonnaise.It can be served either hot or cold.

This is a salad that can be eaten alone or with a lighter main course. The warm roasted sweet potato works well with avocado and any salad ingredients in your fridge. For this recipe I also had some fresh apricots which I peeled, sliced thinly and added. A light sprinkling of Mirin or squeeze of lemon juice is really all the dressing required.
