Salted Eggs and Tomato Salad or Itlog na maalat with kamatis is probably one of the easiest Filipino salad that I’ve ever made. This dish is quick and very easy to prepare. It is best served as a side for grilled dishes.

I particularly like to have Salted Eggs with Tomato Salad with Grilled pork. I also love it with grilled tilapia. To me, a perfect Salted Eggs with Tomato Salad meal is something with anything grilled (may it be meat or seafood) along with steamed white rice. Having this salad around boosts my appetite and lets me better enjoy my meal.
