Tomato Salad with Balsamic Pickled Shallots & Green Coriander

I’ve often found the most enjoyable way to eat sun-ripened summer tomatoes is raw. Whether in salads or thickly sliced and laid atop toast, their sweetness doesn’t need much adornment. This salad is my take on the quintessential tomato and onion salad. The quick-pickled shallots and green coriander seed add a tangy depth of flavor that pairs well with the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.

Tomato Salad with Balsamic Pickled Shallots & Green Coriander


  • Author: Courtney West
  • Yield: 46 servings 1x
Scale

Ingredients

  • 45 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp green coriander seed
  • About ¼ cup balsamic or white balsamic vinegar (just enough to cover the shallots & coriander)
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Put the coriander and shallot in a small bowl and cover with the vinegar. Allow them to pickle for 20-30 minutes.
  2. While they are pickling, slice the tomatoes and arrange them on a large platter or plate.
  3. Top the tomatoes with the pickled shallots and coriander and a drizzle of the vinegar.
  4. Finish with a sprinkling of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Notes

If you have any remaining shallot or coriander in the pickling liquid, store it in a jar in the fridge and use it for another batch of this salad or as an addition to any of your other favorite salads.
