I told you I’ve been dealing with some tomato overflow recently.

Aside from freezing some huge bags of tomato sauce I also made quite a few tomato salads like this one and this one. And now I’m sharing another one that I think will blow you away.

Well if you like mint. This tomato salad is great if you have a lot of tomatoes you want to use up ASAP.

How To Make Tomato Mint Salad

Could not be easier! You basically need to do these 5 simple things to make this salad:

wash the tomatoes and mint
peel the onion
chop all your vegetables
put them in a bowl
add olive oil and salt

It should take you about 10 minutes max, and you won’t have a pile of dishes to clean up.

Tomato Mint Salad Ingredients

Tomatoes. Use fresh and ripe, juicy tomatoes. I originally made this salad in July when we had buckets full of fresh tomatoes.

Mint. Don’t get me wrong, when you have juicy tomatoes, this salad would taste good even if you don’t add anything to it. But adding that mint gives it a nice, new freshness and flavor.

Sesame seeds. Toast some sesame seeds for even more flavor! I originally started toasting tomatoes when I was pregnant and was trying to avoid salt. It works and it tastes sooooo good – I still do it.

Onion. Use a small onion here, it’s always a good addition to tomato salads.

Olive oil. Why overcomplicate things with making a dressing? The mint, onion, tomatoes and sesame seeds add enough flavor to this salad and it’s completed, not masked, with the addition of some olive oil.

Okay, now let’s get more specific.
