Making this tomato salad recipe, aka Tomatensalat, is such a great way to use up your fresh garden tomatoes.
It really is one of those best salad recipes because it's so easy to make. Nothing really says summer like tomatoes.
So juicy, healthy, and so delicious.
You can even turn this salad into a Cherry Tomato Salad by substituting halved cherry tomatoes for regular ones. Looks so pretty!
It's also a great recipe to try out different herbs. Using chives is awesome. In fact, there are times that I replace the green onions with fresh chives from my garden.
Basil would be a nice addition. Parsley is nice as well.

Too many Cherry Tomatoes?
Here's a tip I got from my Mutti.
She would freeze whole cherry tomatoes. Then, when she served a steaming hot bowl of soup in the winter, she would add a frozen cherry tomato into each bowl at the last minute.
For us kids, it was fun to scoop out the soup near the frozen tomato. The soup was nicely cooled down. We had fun moving the tomato around to cool the rest of the soup.
Without the frozen cherry tomatoes, it would be an ice cube that would be added. This, however, would dilute the soup as it melted.
The frozen cherry tomato, as it thaws, actually doesn't change the taste of the soup, until one actually ate it. Perfect for any kind of soup!
Tomatoes:
- Tomatoes are actually a fruit and not a vegetable.
- High in vitamin C, they also contain vitamin A, potassium, and iron.
- Notable is the high lycopene level. (Lycopene appears to act as an antioxidant that is beneficial for our cells.)
There are so many varieties of tomatoes at the market now a days. All different colors, shapes and types. Use this simple salad recipe to experiment with the different flavors represented by the many kinds available today.
Heritage tomatoes, with their different colors and shapes, are perfect for this salad.
Oma's Tips:
Need some more recipes for tomatoes? Have too many cherry tomatoes in your garden?
Then try an unusual vegetable dish such as baked squash with tomatoes or just simply roasted tomatoes. But first, eat them fresh in this salad!

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
As a German-American that is a bit culinarily challenged, this book is a true blessing!
What makes this book extra wonderful is that the recipes are separated by region.
German food is more complex than bratwurst, sauerkraut and pretzels!
This classic cookbook (German Meals at Oma's) has not only a variety of different recipes, but also key notes to help even those with little experience in the kitchen learn to make excellent German cuisine.

Your eBook – WOW. It is excellent. Great write-ups, great layout, great pictures, colours, everything!!
The Oma touch is really unique too...
... In summary – WOW – great job. Love it and I will be making most, if not all, of these recipes.
