Tomatoes revitalize the kidneys, liver, and spleen and strengthen the immune system. Tomatoes also help to push back viral growth, which means viruses have a difficult time proliferating. When viruses are stifled by antiviral phytochemical compounds in tomatoes, then thyroid hormones can level out.

Mediterranean Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tbsp raw honey
• 1 tsp sumac (optional)
• 1 garlic clove, finely grated
• 2 lbs heirloom tomatoes, roughly diced
• 1 medium English cucumber, roughly diced
• ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
• ½ cup loosely packed fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Sea salt, to taste (optional)
• Black pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions:

Add the lemon juice, raw honey, sumac (if using), and grated garlic to a large bowl. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Gently toss until evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste (if using). Serve immediately.

Add lemon juice and red pepper flakes (if using) and basil or dill (if using). Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with lemon juice and any optional seasonings. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.

Serves 2-4

Recipe Notes:

• While high-quality sea salt or mountain rock salt and black pepper are optional inclusions, the recipe is more healing without them. Over time, you may wish to reduce or exclude them.
