Simple Tomato Dill Salad with Lemon, Balsamic Glaze

Mallory
This simple Tomato Dill salad is made with just a handful of ingredients and is an easy way to use up fresh tomatoes and dill! Serve it as the perfect side dish or on a slice of toast with hummus or avocado for a summertime snack. This flavor combination is nostalgic for me because one of my mom's favorite things to serve us growing up was tomato soup topped with dill! 😊 I hope you enjoy it.

Equipment

  • 1 serrated knife (recommended)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (your favorite variety*)
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (more to taste)
  • 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 tsp)
  • 1 drizzle balsamic glaze (about ½-1 tsp)
  • kosher salt & black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Dice the tomatoes into about 1 inch pieces. Chop the fresh dill.
  • Add the tomatoes, dill, fresh lemon juice, kosher salt and black pepper to a small bowl. Give it a mix and top with a squeeze of balsamic glaze.

Notes

*use your favorite tomato variety! I use whatever I find at the farmer's market or grocery store. I've made it with beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes are great for this too.
Expert Tips
  • A serrated knife is best for cutting the gentle skin of a tomato! Use a gentle sawing motion back and forth instead of trying to force through it. 
  • If you have a few extra minutes, slice your tomatoes and salt them first to draw out some moisture. Then blot them dry and dice them to add to the salad. 
  • Add some good extra virgin olive oil for healthy fats and to improve the flavor. I often leave it out because I serve this salad with hummus or avocado which are sources of healthy fats. 
  • Finely chop the dill so it distributes evenly. Give it a taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed. 
Storage 
  • Refrigerator - store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. 
Dietitian Tip
Tomatoes contain powerful antioxidants called lycopene and they also provide vitamin C. Combining them with fresh herbs like dill, lemon, and balsamic glaze is a simple way to add even more flavor and nutrition!
