“Tomatoes in the Snow” is a simple, classic cold salad—fresh tomatoes topped with a creamy white dressing that looks like snow ❄️🍅
Tomatoes in the Snow
Ingredients
- 3–4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- ½–¾ cup sour cream or mayonnaise (or a mix of both)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, finely minced (optional but traditional)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare tomatoes
- Slice tomatoes and arrange them in a single layer on a plate or shallow dish.
- Lightly sprinkle with salt.
- Make the “snow”
- Mix sour cream (or mayo) with minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble
- Spoon or spread the white sauce generously over the tomatoes so they look “snow-covered.”
- Finish
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs if using.
- Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Tips & Variations
- Add a thin layer of grated cheese on top for a richer version.
- Use Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangy taste.
- Great as a summer side dish or served with bread and grilled foods.
If you want, I can show you a layered party-style version or one with cucumbers added for extra crunch.
