A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring tender okra and juicy tomatoes, perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Use a whisk to ensure the salt and pepper dissolve evenly into the vinegar.
Blanch the okra in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Blanching helps to soften the okra while maintaining its vibrant green color.
Combine the blanched okra, sliced onion, and minced garlic in a serving dish.
Ensure the onion is thinly sliced for a better texture in the salad.
Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the okra mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the okra pieces.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to marinate.
Marinating allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Arrange the salad on a serving plate with sliced tomatoes for garnish.
For a more appealing presentation, alternate tomato slices with okra pieces.
