Salad made using tomatoes and green onions is a very fulfilling side dish salad.

Taste and fragrance are great, not to mention the abundance of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. This is a very low-calorie salad, just be careful with dressings and oil ...

I like simple recipes - this is one of them. Take two green onions and two medium-sized tomatoes and wash them with plenty of water.

Cut tomatoes in half and using a sharp knife, slice tomatoes into a suitable pot. Clean green onions and chop them into smaller pieces. Put chopped onions into pot with tomatoes, add some salt, just a little bit of pepper, some vinegar. Adding oil: If you add a single tablespoon of oil (ordinary vegetable oil, olive oil, etc), you will add around 15g of oil - that is around 135 kcal. But, without oil, any salad has a 'dry' taste. Feel free to add half of tablespoon of oil and mix everything. Salad is done. If that was complicated, then ... :o)

That is around 155 kcal - mostly from complex carbs (tomatoes) and oil. Fiber content is good - 5g. I didn't add any kind of salad dressing - vinegar in combination with some pepper and green onions is more than enough for a strong, but tasty aroma.

Note on green onions: some people use only the 'white' part for salads, while they throw away the 'green' part - don't do this. The green part is much richer in various vitamins and other, very beneficial, micronutrients.

I use this salad as a side dish with grilled meat - chicken breast, turkey breast, veal schnitzels, etc.
