Tomato and Vinegar Salad

 

Tomato and Vinegar Salad: This is a darn-good summer salad. Especially good when you have plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers growing.

As always, use the freshest ingredients and make sure you use a good quality malt vinegar. If you warm it a little you will find that the honey dissolves much more easily into it.

I remember that lunch wasn’t lunch if the table was set and it didn’t have a bowl of tomato and vinegar salad in the middle of it.  Lots of tomato, onion and cucumber sitting in a bowl of malt vinegar.

Tracee’s mum still serves it up with either lunch or dinner and its always eaten in one sitting.

Tomato and Vinegar Salad is detoxifying and a very alkalising dish which tastes just perfect along with a green salad and potato salad. Remember to get a good quality vinegar, preferably one made from organic ingredients and be sure to buy one in a glass (and not plastic) bottle. Caution if buying the supermarket variety (budget) vinegar. It may not have the same taste as a quality vinegar.
