Solo Cooking God Tomato Marinade

A Mediterranean-style salad featuring cherry tomatoes, finely chopped onion, and fragrant perilla leaves tossed in a tangy-sweet apple vinegar and olive oil dressing, enjoyed chilled.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not overcook the cherry tomatoes, as the flesh will become mushy; remove them from the boiling water as soon as cracks appear on the skin.
  • You can achieve excellent flavor and acidity even without traditional ingredients like basil or balsamic vinegar—perilla leaves and apple vinegar are easily accessible and equally effective.
  • For a quicker version, skip the blanching step and simply halve clean cherry tomatoes, then toss them with the same dressing.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, cooling healthy dessert or light salad.
  • Home cooks who want to create an exotic taste using familiar fridge ingredients instead of hard-to-find Western herbs.
  • People needing a clean, refreshing side dish to pair with rich meals like steak or pasta.
