Tomato Salad

4-5  fresh tomatoes

4 Tbsp olive oil

3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup diced onions or shallots

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano or basil (optional)

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground pepper

2 tsp sugar

Wash the tomatoes and take the core out. Cut each tomato first into half and then into thin slices. Like hamburger slices.  Place the tomatoes in a salad bowl.  Wash the parsley and oregano and dry with a paper towel.  Remove the leaves from the stems.  chop the herbs with a food mil or a knife.  Peel the onion and chop or dice.

In a separate bowl, mix the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar using a whisk.  Add the prepared herbs and onions to the liquid mix and stir.  Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and toss with spoons
