Tomatoes are great and good to be eaten raw and cooked. Fresh and ripe tomatoes make one of the best salads. You can use them simply as they are, or mixed with other veggies, or coated in a creamy dressing.

However, tomatoes are also great when baked. When they are baked the juice they leave makes the dish texture moisty and juicer. You can check some of my recipes here.

The ingredients:

Ripe colourful tomatoes, around 8 pieces
1 cup of sour cream
2 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots thinly sliced
Herbs, fresh parsley and dill nicely chopped
Chives
Seasoning

Properly wash and clean all the tomatoes you are going to use.

Take a cutting board and start cutting wedges or halves your tomatoes. Also, thinly slice the shallots, parsley, and the dill.

Take a big bowl and start combining all the ingredients. Pour the sour cream and mix well until all the ingredients have coated all the aromas.

Add salt and herbs at your discretion.

Garnish tomato salad with some thinly chopped chives and serve immediately. Try to eat it at the time you are serving this salad to avoid a soggy mess salad.

I do not recommend to store salads that have creamy dressing as they do not taste the same as you eat it right away. So try to make the amount you will enjoy just for dinner.
