Tomato Salad, Ethiopian Style
This week it's all about raw food at IHCC and in keeping with the idea of trying new tomato recipes I chose an Ethiopian Style Tomato Salad. It's super-simple to make and tastes great. Next time I will halve the amount of chile for a more balanced flavour. Chilling the salad for half an hour gives you the perfect time-slot to have a beer and fry up some Bratwürste.And what's more, Ethiopia is the current theme at Joanne's Regional Recipes, so I can send this one over to her .

Put the lemon juice, onion, jalapeno and turmeric into a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes and toss to coat.

You and I were on the same page this week with this one. Such a simple and nicely-flavored salad and perfect for Raw Foods week at IHCC & Regional Recipes.

Thanks so much for this entry! This tomato salad looks so incredibly tasty, especially for how simple the ingredient list is!
What a simple and lovely salad. I really have to try this one. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
I'm always looking for reasons to use tumeric, a spice I love, but that languishes in the cabinet most of the time! Thanks for posting this for Raw Foods week!
We've been heavy duty into panzanella these days and this would be a lovely alternative.
Perfect way to use up all the surplus fresh tomatoes! Sounds excellent.
Great choice - I am so looking forward to trying this when summer comes around and I can get fresh tomatoes again.

Sounds like you had a wonderful meal between this gorgeous tomato salad and the bratwurst! Great way to double up for IHCC and Regional Recipes:-)
What a perfect salad now that the local tomatoes are so ripe and delicious. I'll have to make this one for sure!
