Tomato salad is another Czech classic, especially in summer when you can see an abundance of tomatoes in many gardens.
Just like Cucumber Salad, this salad too is one that everyone knows from Sunday lunch at grandma’s or school kitchen. It’s a typical summer salad because people who farm, big or small (and many Czechs do) have plenty of tomatoes in this season.
When it comes to fresh tomatoes in Czech cuisine, you will often find them served just sliced without anything or salted. Tomato salad is a nice change if you want something different.
