Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow serving dish, gently arrange the quartered Roma tomatoes.

02

Step

Top the tomatoes with the thinly sliced red onion rings, distributing them evenly. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Follow with the green bell pepper rings, layering them artfully over the onions. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a mason jar or small container with a lid, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, sugar, and black pepper. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the vinaigrette is well emulsified and slightly thickened.

06

Step

Pour the vinaigrette evenly over the tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, ensuring everything is nicely coated. (1 minute)

07

Step

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (120 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the vinaigrette.
Fresh basil or oregano can be substituted for parsley.
If you don't have cider vinegar, white wine vinegar can be used as a substitute.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light lunch.

    I made this for a summer barbecue and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the tangy vinaigrette and the combination of flavors.

    This salad is so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. I highly recommend refrigerating it overnight for the best flavor.

  • Fletcher Murphy

    The vinaigrette is what really makes this salad special. I'm already planning on using it for other salads as well.

  • Laurel Romaguera

    I didn't have red onion on hand, so I used yellow onion instead and it still turned out great. This is a very versatile recipe.

  • Eden Lubowitz

    This salad is absolutely delicious! The flavors are so vibrant and fresh. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Lawson Kirlingoyette

    I added some crumbled feta cheese and it was the perfect addition. Thanks for the great recipe!
