Sometimes less is more, and this really simple Portuguese tomato salad is much better than the sum of its ingredients.

This simple but delicious salad makes a great accompaniment for meat or fish. Make it in advance to let the flavours mingle and you will be delighted.

It reminds me of warm summer evenings on the Algarve with some freshly caught fish, the salad, and of course an ice cold Sagres or Super Bock beer.

Personally I prefer to use red onions in my portuguese tomato salad for their milder flavour, but you can just as easily use white onions.
