Recipe 10: quick green tomato salad

I have been preparing green tomato salad using this recipe for about 20 years. The whole family loves it, the salad is very tasty and aromatic, a little reminiscent of stuffed green tomatoes, but easier to prepare. Minimum ingredients, quick preparation and amazing taste!

A quick green tomato salad can be served within an hour or two after preparation. You can store it in the refrigerator for longer than a month; this salad is also suitable for preservation.

green tomatoes - 1.8 kg, completely green, milky ripeness, and brown are suitable;
bell pepper – 4 pieces, red is better, it’s brighter and tastier;
garlic – 2 heads;
hot chili pepper - half of one pod and a whole pod if you like it spicier;
greens – 1 bunch parsley + dill;

For the marinade you will need:
water 1 liter;
vinegar 9% - 100 ml;
salt – 50 ml;
sugar 100 ml.

boil water, add salt, sugar, vinegar, let it boil and remove from heat - the salad marinade is ready!

Wash the tomatoes and cut into small slices.

Add chopped bell pepper, hot pepper, finely chopped herbs and garlic, passed through a garlic press.



Mix everything and place tightly in a 3-liter bottle or liter jars.

One serving of vegetables makes 1 bottle or 3 liter jars of salad.

Pour the marinade over the salad.

Depending on what kind of marinade you use, cold or hot, the taste, speed of preparation of the salad and its shelf life will depend.
If you pour boiling marinade over the salad, then you can treat yourself to it as soon as everything cools down. Of course, it tastes better if you let it sit in the refrigerator for another hour. Store the salad in the refrigerator.
If you want to prepare this salad for the winter. Pour boiling marinade over it and sterilize for 20 minutes. Afterwards, seal the jars. The taste of canned salad will be slightly milder than fresh.
If you pour the salad hot, 60 -80 degrees with marinade, then after everything has cooled, let the salad brew for 8-10 hours at room temperature, and only then put it in the cold. This salad will be crispier than the previous one and its taste will be brighter.
If you pour the marinade that has cooled to room temperature over the salad, then you need to leave it for at least a day, but this salad can be stored in the refrigerator for more than a month.

I usually make a salad from 1.5 or 2 servings of vegetables, divide everything into 3 parts and fill each bottle with marinade at different temperatures. So I have a quick green tomato salad for lunch and dinner. When the first jar is eaten, a well-infused and cooled second jar is on its way. And the third jar can be stored in the refrigerator until you want to enjoy a green tomato salad again.
Serve a quick green tomato salad chilled. Before serving, you can add some fresh herbs and aromatic sunflower oil to the salad, or you can do without it, as you like. Bon appetit!

Winter is already upon us, and the tomatoes that have not yet had time to ripen are still turning green in the gardens. You can’t eat such fresh vegetables because of the presence of solanine in their composition, but getting a luxurious salad from green tomatoes is a wonderful and quickly implementable idea.

Our ancestors have used this method of preserving vegetables since ancient times. Then they knew how to preserve all the valuable substances of green fruits.

Set of required components:

  • dill inflorescences and herbs - 100 g;
  • basil, parsley, cilantro, celery - 25 g each;
  • green tomatoes - 5 kg;
  • tarragon, savory, marjoram - 10 g each;
  • leaves of horseradish (rhizome), currant, cherry, laurel and oak - 3 pcs each;
  • garlic cloves - 1 head;
  • peppercorns (12 pcs.) and bitter pepper (pod);
  • coriander and mustard seeds - 5 g each.

Preparing the salad:

  1. For proper salting, we never use a metal pan. Enameled or stainless steel cookware is suitable.
  2. We thoroughly wash the prepared tank, disinfect it, and scald it with boiling water.
  3. We sort out the tomatoes, since the salad should contain only whole, high-quality, well-washed fruits. If we expect to take a sample from the finished product after 2–3 weeks, then we pierce each tomato in several places (with a fork or a needle). For long-term storage this procedure is not required.
  4. Place the spice mixture on the bottom of the pan, then place each green tomato with its “butt” facing up. We fill the dishes in dense rows, rearranging and sprinkling the vegetables with spices.
  5. To prepare the brine, it is advisable to use bottled or spring water. For 1 liter of liquid we take 70 grams of table salt. We boil the composition, cool it, filter it, and pour it over the food.
  6. Cover the dishes with a clean linen and place a plate on top (according to the size of the components of the dish). To prevent the tomatoes from becoming moldy, sprinkle the fabric with mustard powder.

We keep the tank with winter lettuce for 5 days at room temperature, then send it to the basement or cellar.

When the first frost hits, we will temporarily put the plate with pickling outside. See what an amazing snack awaits you!

Korean green tomato salad for the winter

Experts have long proven that pickles, albeit in small quantities, activate metabolic processes in our bodies.

Therefore, a salad of green tomatoes for the winter should definitely be present in the family cellar.

Grocery list:

Cooking process:

  2. We make cross-shaped cuts on the top of each tomato prepared for pickling, fill them with the resulting vegetable mixture and lightly compact the enclosed components.
  3. Pour bottled water into the pan, add salt and granulated sugar. Boil the mixture until the bulk ingredients dissolve. At the end of heating, carefully add vinegar. Be sure to filter the resulting mixture.
  4. At the bottom of the jars we place a laurel leaf and a sprig of dill, as well as peppercorns. Then spread the stuffed tomatoes tightly. Fill them with marinade, carefully seal the containers, turn them over with the lid down, and leave them under the blanket.

We store cooled Korean-style green tomato salads for the winter in the refrigerator or in a room designated for this purpose.

No added vinegar

It is worth noting that not everyone likes winter preparations with the presence of vinegar. For some, such “joys of life” are not available due to health reasons, so we prepare a green tomato salad in a different, healthy way.

Product set:

  • onion - 500 g;
  • tomatoes - 1.5 kg;
  • bell pepper - 500 g;

  2. All salad components (except tomatoes) can be chopped in a food processor, if the device comes with special attachments.
  3. Everything will take less than 5 minutes!
  4. We cut green tomatoes into halves, quarters or round slices - as you like. Place the tomatoes, onions and carrots in a saucepan, stir and boil, turning on medium heat.
  5. At the very beginning - about five minutes - you will have to stay close to the stove, turning the food over so that it does not burn. Over the next 25 minutes, our delicious ingredients will produce juice and “communicate” with each other.

Now add pieces of pepper, aromatic oil, tomato paste and up to 70 g of salt (to be determined according to taste). Continue cooking for another 5 minutes. At the end of the process, add chopped garlic cloves, mix everything and after 60 seconds put the salad without vinegar into sterilized jars. Seal the dishes tightly.

There is absolutely no excess acid in the resulting snack. It was the peppers and carrots that gave the dish all their natural sweetness.

  2. For lovers of spicy food, the amount of hot pepper can be increased if desired. Grind the prepared vegetables using a blender or meat grinder.

It is not known who came up with the idea of ​​​​making a salad of green tomatoes for the winter, but the taste of this appetizer turned out to be so successful that modern housewives specifically pick tomatoes unripe or buy such tomatoes at the market. You can prepare this salad with the addition of a variety of vegetables, and a more satisfying snack option is prepared with rice.

Preparing a salad from unripe tomatoes is not difficult, but you need to follow certain rules in order for the preparation to be successful.

First of all, you need to choose quality raw materials. Tomatoes suitable for canning must be healthy, reaching marketable size, but not beginning to turn red. You can also use brown tomatoes, but they are already softer, so the taste of the salad will be different.

You need to cut the tomatoes with a very sharp knife, in this case the juice will not leak out, and the pieces will be smooth and beautiful. You can cut tomatoes in different ways - into circles, slices, cubes. The choice of cutting option depends on the recipe.

In addition to the main component, the salad can include various vegetables. It is best to cut them into thin strips; you can use special shredders for slicing.

Salads will be stored in jars that need to be hermetically sealed. These can be screw caps or caps that are rolled up using a special key.

Interesting facts: the largest tomato was grown in the US state of Wisconsin, its weight was almost 3 kilograms.

Place the chopped vegetables in a saucepan, pour in the oil, add salt and pepper. Taste it and adjust the amount of spices if necessary. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes; when salt is added, the vegetables will begin to release juice. The mass should be quite liquid. If you get a thick mixture, add a little water to it.

  • 1.5 kg bell pepper;
  • 0.5 cups of salt;
  • 0.5 cups table vinegar (9%);
  • 1 cup of sugar;

We wash the tomatoes, cut each fruit in half and cut out the stem. Cut into slices 0.7-1.0 cm thick. Place the tomatoes in a bowl, add half the specified amount of salt, mix gently and leave for 3-5 hours. Drain off the juice released from the tomatoes.

Peel and chop the remaining vegetables (peppers, carrots and onions) into strips. If desired, you can chop the onion smaller and grate the carrots. Combine all the vegetables in a spacious bowl. Add the second part of salt, sugar, season with vinegar and refined oil. Mix well.

Place the salad in clean and dry half-liter jars, tamping well. We put the salad in jars, covering them with boiled lids in a large saucepan, at the bottom of which there is a plastic mesh. Pour warm water to the level of the “hangers” of the cans and place on the stove.

Advice! If there is no plastic grill, you can place a towel or clean cloth folded in two or three layers on the bottom of the pan for sterilization.

Bring the water in the pan to a boil and heat the jars for 12 minutes. We take out one at a time and immediately close it tightly. Turn the jar over and place it on the lid.

Spicy green tomato salad

Appetizing spicy vegetable salad with green tomatoes prepared without sterilization

  • 1 kg of tomatoes;
  • 250 gr. carrots;
  • 300 gr. Luke;
  • 200 gr. bell pepper;
  • 5 cloves of garlic;
  • 1 pod of hot pepper (or to taste);
  • a third of a glass of refined oil;
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (9%);
  • 1 tablespoon salt;
  • 2-3 tablespoons of sugar.

We thoroughly wash all the vegetable components of our salad. Peel the onions, carrots and peppers and cut into thin strips. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and cut them into slices. Remove the seeds from the hot pepper and finely chop it, chop the garlic using a garlic press or chop it with a knife.

Advice! If you don’t like bell peppers, then you don’t have to put them in this preparation. In this case, you need to increase the number of tomatoes by 200 grams. Moreover, you can take pink or red tomatoes.

Place all the vegetables (except garlic) in a saucepan, sprinkle with salt, spices and sugar and stir. Leave for 20-30 minutes to release the juice.

Advice! When adding spices at the initial stages of preparing the product, add them less than the amount specified in the recipe. Then, when everything is almost ready, you can bring the salad to taste by adding the missing seasonings.

Pour oil into the vegetables and put the pan on the fire, simmer for about 40 minutes, the tomatoes should become soft and their flesh translucent. At the very end, add vinegar and garlic.
