Tomato Onion Salad

Growing up, my Dad made this salad a lot, but at the time I hated onions so I always picked them out and just ate the tomatoes. Nowadays I have no problem eating every bite of this delicious and easy to throw together salad. It's a particular favorite in the Summer when we have a plenty of freshly picked tomatoes from the garden!

Tomato Onion Salad

2-3 cups roughly chopped tomatoes***
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced into half circles
1/4 cup olive oil
2 TBSP. red wine vinegar
1 TBSP. dried parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. grlic powder
1/8 tsp. onion powder
few dashes ground black pepper

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes and onions. Min a separate small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients and pour over top of the tomato mixture. Toss to coat and mix well. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Best if you let it marinate for at least 2 hours, but still delicious even if you serve it sooner.

*** Plum/Roma tomatoes are my first pick when making this salad just because they are not as juicy as slicing tomatoes, but I've used slicing tomatoes to make this as well and they still give delicious results.
