Garden Tomato Salad with Ginger and Peppermint Dressing

A spectacular combination of flavors! This garden tomato salad with ginger and mint dressing it's amazing, it's fresh, delicious, flavorful and intense. There are two ingredients that you should pay special attention to: tomatoes and tuna, because they have to be of very good quality. In the end, they are the protagonists of our dish, and without them, the dish would not be that delicious.

For tomatoes I recommend pink tomato, raff, blue sky or one of salad. It's a good idea to peel it, so we make the bite smoother and more pleasant. For him tunaIn this case, I recommend you tuna belly or loins of bonito from the north canned in olive oil. But again, good quality.

Actually these two ingredients with a good oil and salt would already be a scandal. But in this case, we are going to give our salad a special touch by making a dressing with garlic, ginger, lemon and mint. And, to finish, a touch of chili powder and Himalayan salt to give him that punch final. If you do not have chili powder you can use pepper or hot paprika and, for salt, I recommend that you have a slightly more special salt at home to use in some preparations such as flake salt or pink Himalayan salt. This is how we will give color and texture to our most special dishes. These salts, a priori, can be more expensive, but since a very small amount is used, they spread a lot.
