Best Croatian Simple Tomato Salad Recipes
NORTH CROATIAN SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE
This is continental version of Dalmatian tomato salsa. It is very easy to make and goes excellent with cooked beef and mashed potato. Before Mediterranean food become popular this was my familys standard tomato sauce. If you make this recipe with fresh tomato, first you have to make strained juice; that means: soak tomato briefly in hot water, remove seeds, shave the inside part of tomato skin and blend it. On the other hand, it is easier to buy the can or package of pure tomato strained juice (whatever you have).

STANDARD CROATIAN MIXED SALAD
This is usual mixed summer salad you can get almost in every Croatian household or restaurant. The importance is in wine vinegar (not aceto balsamico), and it must be cooled. I do not know the reason, but vinegar does not make you thirsty during hot summer days, so it is very important ingredient.

CROATIAN SIMPLE FRENCH BEANS SALAD
This is very simple salad where you use cooked French beans. You can use flat or round bean or green or yellow one, the procedure is the same. I do not use olive oil and only vinegar (not acceto balsamico). I also use honey vinegar (I have a friend who is in bee-honey business and he produces that honey vinegar. It is extremely healthy and excellent taste; you can drink it with water alone.)
