Ingredients
Method
- Begin by cutting 2 lb campari tomatoes into quarters. Place them in a large mixing bowl. The sweet, juicy tomatoes will be the star of your salad.
- Take 1 large red bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and chop it into four large pieces. This allows for easier blending.
- In a food processor, combine the chopped bell pepper and 4 cloves of garlic (peeled). Blend until smooth. This mixture will form the base of your dressing.
- In a separate bowl, combine the bell pepper-garlic paste with 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon sumac, 4 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until fully combined.
- Pour the dressing over the quartered tomatoes in the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat the tomatoes evenly.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley for freshness and an added layer of flavor.
- Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- After chilling, serve the salad in a bowl, garnished as desired, and prepare to enjoy the wonderful flavors you’ve created!
