Sweet tomato salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a sweet tomato salad? Prepare the necessary ingredients. For such a salad, it is better to take good quality tomatoes, ripe, fleshy, preferably homemade. The variety "Bull's Heart" is good. Take sunflower seeds that have already been peeled. A pear of the Conference variety or another soft variety is suitable. I have homemade pears.

2. STEP 2

   

   First you need to prepare the sweet seed sauce. To do this, fill the washed, peeled seeds with water and leave for several hours. Then the water needs to be drained.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash and dry the pears. Peel the skins, cores and stems from the pods and cut into cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place chopped pear, soaked sunflower seeds (without water) in a blender bowl, pour in apple cider vinegar and add honey. Puree everything until it becomes a paste.

5. STEP 5

   

   The sauce is ready. Thanks to the seeds, the sauce turns out to be very satisfying, and with honey it’s sweet.

6. STEP 6

   

   As a result, the salad will not be very photogenic, so in order to somehow photograph it, I cut the tomatoes into circles. For everyday personal use, cut the tomatoes as you like. Place the chopped tomatoes in a salad bowl, season with seed sauce, stir and serve. Bon appetit!

An unusual combination of tomatoes and pears for me. I make a salad with feta cheese from tomatoes.

I agree with the author that tomato dishes can be sweet. I even like sweet pickled tomatoes) So I decided to try making a sweet tomato salad using this recipe. My tomatoes themselves were meaty. I chose ones that were not sour. I cut them crosswise. For the sauce, I needed to soak the sunflower seeds. I didn’t really understand why it was needed, but I soaked it for two hours. She also took a sweet pear from her garden. I ground the seeds, pear and honey with an immersion blender and added apple cider vinegar. I really liked the taste, but the appearance is really not very aesthetic) It seems to me that the seeds could not have been soaked, but fried in a dry frying pan. But then the sauce would not be so soft. I did not mix the tomatoes with the sauce. It’s more convenient to spread this sweet “pate” on a slice of tomato and eat it like a sandwich. In any case, it turned out delicious, sweet and unusual. Honey and apple cider vinegar go well together in my opinion.
