Russian Tomato Salad is a popular side dish in Russia and Eastern Europe. It's a quick and easy recipe that can be customized to taste. Some people add cucumbers, radishes or boiled eggs for extra protein and variety. The salad has a tangy taste that balances the sweetness of ripe tomatoes. The sour cream makes it creamy and rich.
