Ingredients

  • 4 large tomatoes fresh
  • 3 ½ ounces semi-hard cheese Gouda, Edam, Monterey Jack
  • 1 small onion
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • cup sour cream fat content 15-18%
  • ½ Tablespoon white vinegar 5% acidity
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Rinse 4 large tomatoes and cut them in half. Cut out the stems and dice the tomatoes into roughly ½ inch (1.5 cm) cubes.
  • Peel and chop 1 small onion. Cut 3 ½ ounces semi-hard cheese into ⅓ inch (1 cm) cubes.
  • Put the chopped ingredients in a larger bowl. Add ½ cup mayonnaise and ⅓ cup sour cream. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper and ½ Tablespoon white vinegar.
  • Mix everything and put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to chill.

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes 3-4 portions.
  • SERVING: Serve the chilled tomato salad as a light meal. For a more filling option, add slices of crusty bread. Enjoy immediately.
  • You can also serve the salad in small bowls as a refreshing side dish to accompany your main meal.
  • STORAGE: Store the leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing this tomato salad.
