Very healthy and tasty vegetable salad. An excellent choice for vegetarians! Let me tell you a few words about tomatoes.
Look for firm, unblemished tomatoes with good red color. Size doesn’t indicate quality.

To Store Tomatoes:

If not fully ripe, leave them, the stem ends up, at room temperature out of sunlight until they turn red. Then refrigerate and use within 1-2 days.

To Prepare:

It is not necessary to peel tomatoes before using them. Simply rinse in cold water. If you wish to peel them, please see below.

Peeling Tomatoes:

Dip tomato in boiling water for a minute, then into cold water. Or, with a long-handled fork, rotate the tomato over the flame until the skin pops. With a sharp knife, pull away loosened skin. Cut out stem end.

To Cook Tomatoes:

Use tomatoes in recipes for vegetables, or in soups and main dishes.

Seasoning:

Basil, celery seed, chives, parsley, oregano, tarragon, thyme, coarsely ground black pepper.

To Serve Tomatoes:

Eat fresh in salads, as a sandwich filling, or as a cooked vegetable.
