Very nice salad. I doubled the vinegar mix for more dressing. We love tomatoes and onions, this was perfect for us. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh this was SO good! I made this to accompany our Welsh Rabbit and it was a perfect foil for the tangy melted cheese on toast! Maybe not a traditional accompaniment - but it did work well! I did not have enough fresh coriander/cilantro in the garden - so I added a little bit of fresh flat leaf parsley to plump up the greens element! I used a lovely local red onion and this salad was simple and yet very sophisticated. Made for ZWT3 and thoroughly enjoyed! FT:-)

This was so tangy and refreshing! We didn't use the coriander but followed the recipe exactly otherwise and we rewarded with a lovely salad!
