Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes for the salad. The tastier the tomatoes, the better the salad. You can use regular or red onions. It’s best to prepare Achik Chuchuk 15-20 minutes before serving pilaf.
Step 2
Rinse the tomatoes under running water and pat them dry with a towel. Slice the tomatoes thinly.

Step 3
Peel the onions. Slice them into quarter rings. If you're using small onions, cut them into half-rings. Cut both tomatoes and onions directly over the salad bowl—tomato juice is crucial to this dish. Slice both as thinly as possible.
Step 4
Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss everything together. Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes before serving. It’s perfect alongside hot, fragrant pilaf.
