This refreshing chilled side dish is packed with vitamins and flavor. The marinade, made with finely chopped onion, sesame oil, and vinegar, pairs beautifully with the acidity of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the prosciutto. The crisp texture of raw onion adds just the right bite, making this dish irresistibly tasty.
It's versatile too—try serving it over chilled tofu or somen noodles for a delicious summer twist. Perfect for using up extra tomatoes!
