Step-by-step preparation of a salad of tomatoes and herbs, a recipe with a photo:
1. Select tomatoes that are ripe, firm, fleshy, without rot and spoilage. Wash them under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the fruit into medium-sized wedges.
2. Wash the cilantro greens, dry with a paper towel and chop it finely. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Remove the seeds from the hot pepper, because they contain the most spiciness, and chop it finely.
3. Place all sliced foods in a plate.
4. Season them with salt, sprinkle with olive oil and stir. It is customary to serve a ready-made salad of tomatoes and herbs immediately after cooking. Otherwise, under the influence of salt, the tomatoes will flow and the salad will not be appetizing. If you are not going to serve it right away, then season it with salt, just before serving.
