Armenian salad with coriander
Description
Perfect for an everyday table. Ideally, this recipe should use summer "Micado" tomatoes, but sweet cherry tomatoes will work well during the winter months. You can use sweet Crimean onions or white Sterling onions; these varieties don't need marinating, but in this case, it's recommended to drizzle the salad with lemon juice. Garnish as desired and serve.
