Are there other types of fruits that could go well with tomatoes in a salad?
Cucumbers are melons. But that has me questioning if melons are fruit and I don’t want to google it, I just want to be angry.
When they say a girl has nice melons, they don’t mean her boobs are shaped like cucumber, that’s for damn sure.
It means that both women and men can have nice melon(s)
Tomatoes are a vegetable (fite me bro). They’re botanically a fruit, but they’re high in acid and don’t play well with sweet fruits - Avocado is a good other example that goes terribly with sweet fruits especially citrus.
That said - avocado salad (aka guacamole) is amazing and tomato salad ditto - whether just tomatoes with salt or caprese.
It’s not that tomatoes can’t be used in fruit salad it’s that they pair terribly with Honeydew, Grapefruit, Orange, Grapes, and Cantelope.
I like tomatoes in my guac. Those two go well together.
Wait, aren’t all fruits vegetables tho? I honestly don’t know, this whole thing is confusing.
I think we normies should have another word that fits better; “fruit” doesn’t really mean anything in culinary terms, IMHO

Yeah, you can’t just throw a grocery Roma into a fruit salad, but what you describe sounds f’n amazing.

You need to shut up and invite me over for dinner.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, avocadoes, sweet peppers and olives are all culinary vegetables that are botanical fruits that can be made into salads.
Cucumbers, squash, peppers, avocados.
Avocados and peppers to make guacamole 😋
Wow this is a good question. What about raisins?
Straight to jail.
Only on their immature state please (scientifically know as grapes)
Had a salad made from a mix of vegetables and tropical fruit, on La Gomera once, best salad I ever had in my life.
Tomatoes come in two varieties:
- Tomatoes you can slice without making a goopy mess. These tomatoes have no flavor, but have the benefit of having a physical shape
- Tomatoes that turn into a goopy mess when you cut them. These tomatoes have flavor, but are only suitable for sauces
Greek Salad is mostly fruit.
