South African Tomato Salad
This lovely South African Tomato Salad typifies the mark the diaspora has made on Jewish cooking. Chutneys, curries and hot peppers play a large role in the South African recipes that Jewish homemakers brought with them to America.
I had this lovely salad while spending Shabbos in the home of true artist. Our hostess paints, sews wedding gowns for the brides of her sons and is a collector of exquisite textiles and serving dishes from her former Johannesberg home.
This salad is also a work of art--from the gardens of Hashem. Bright red summer tomatoes need little improvement but you'll be delighted with the kick and richness these simple ingredients produce when combined.
