Tomato and onion salad

It would seem that the basic recipe does not change much, but only the fact adding an onion gives a strength and a bitter-acid touch to the flavor, which is not everyone's favorite, but it is tremendously popular.

For this variation, we are going to add a small onion to the basic recipe Peel and cut it into julienne (or strips) very thin and alternate with the slices of tomato, before adding the dressings.

The onion has to be small so as not to unbalance the general flavor of the dish./p>

Tomato and tuna salad

The freshest way to incorporate protein into tomato salad is with tuna. This salad does not complicate the original recipe, because it is made with tuna that comes in a can (although for lovers of fresh ingredients, using a fish tuna can become a work of gastronomic art).

To the point: add a can of tuna in water to the original recipe or to the tomato and onion salad recipe. If there are only cans of tuna in oil in your pantry or supermarket, then the dressing with olive oil is suppressed.

For this variation the dressing with balsamic vinegar is not as recommendable.

The cut of the tomato can also be changed from slices to cubes, or irregular pieces, to achieve a better mix with the tuna.

Tomato and cucumber salad

The lightest of all these variations of recipes, which is as good with the basic recipe as with the recipe of salad with onion.

We are going to add to the basic preparation a peeled cucumber and cut into thin slices. The rest of the preparation remains the same. According to personal taste, in this case you can use cilantro or parsley as a dressing herb, instead of oregano or basil.

Tomato and cheese salad

The favorite variation of the lovers of gourmet cuisine, starting from the basic recipe to mix with white or yellow cheeses.

I prepare it by adding to the tomato salad about 150 grams of goat cheese, cut into thin slices, and interspersed the slices.It is important that it can still be cut into slices. So, cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and make the slices with a knife, after removing the skin. The idea is to try to preserve the best possible shape, to then alternate with the tomato slices.

In case the texture of the avocado is not so firm, it can be cut into cubes, and cut the tomato in the same way.
