Since I was a child, the beginning of winter has always felt like a time for comforting dishes rather than tomato and onion salad. But I still remember the joy of having tomato and red onion salad at the table during the warmer months. I don’t think I’ve ever had a summer without this dish. It’s one of those salads that can be prepared in no time and leaves you quite satisfied.
In winter, having tomato and onion salad for dinner can feel a bit sad; you might picture a simple lettuce tossed together quickly. But tomato and red onion salad reminds me of warmer days, and it’s a lovely way to bring a burst of color and flavor to the season.
