Salade de tomates à la française – tomato salad with herb vinaigrette Recipe
A simple French salad made with ripe tomatoes, red onion, and an herby olive oil and mustard dressing. It’s a typical side dish for family meals in France, especially in summer when tomatoes are at their sweetest. It tastes a bit like an “upgraded version” of a classic Polish tomato salad – more expressive thanks to the mustard and wine vinegar.

Main Ingredient:
tomatoes
Preparation
- Wash and dry the tomatoes, then cut them into medium-sized wedges or thick slices. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin slivers. Add to the tomatoes.
- Peel the garlic and chop it very finely or press it through a garlic press.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir vigorously with a spoon or small whisk until the dressing is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Finely chop the basil and parsley.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the tomatoes and onion, and gently toss with your hand or a large spoon so you don’t crush the pieces.
- Sprinkle with the herbs, toss again very gently, and taste. If needed, add more salt, pepper, or a little extra vinegar.
- Leave the salad to stand for 10–15 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can meld. Serve right away or slightly chilled.
