Tomato Salad

Tomato Salad

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

This is going to seem so mean, but, honestly there are no real measurements for this salad. It really is literally “as you wish my dear”. The photograph above shows the child friendly/onion hater friendly version, where I simply swapped the onion for cucumber (and yes, for those who know Swedish; “det går lika bra med selleri” ;) ) and also used much less seasoning. But, here is the basic dish:

  • say 4-8 big Ripe red tomatoes, diced
  • 1-2 big onions, chopped finely
  • As much cumin as you can take (at LEAST 2-3 Tbsps)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, to taste
  • A good splash of vegetable oil

Just chop it all up and mix it around. Let sit in the fridge and “marinate” for a while. Serve chilled.

A mother in her early 30s. A humble seeker. A lover of true beauty. A hopeless romantic. A seeker of knowledge. A lover of God. Once upon a time, I lived in California. Twice upon a time I lived in Sweden. Then I found refuge in the arms of Egypt and now the water of the Nile runs in my body. Masr; I will always tell this world how much I love her. Years pass. Teachers pass. Scholars pass. Shayukh pass. The smell of sun and earth. Bakhoor and notebooks. Pencil dust on my hands. And those days pass. Make them come back again, ya Rab! Because now, I am here. On the threshold of going where? We shall see.
