Summer Tomatoes

This vibrant summer tomato salad celebrates the peak of the season when tomatoes are at their most fragrant and juicy. By layering thick slices of ripe fruit with a tangy malt vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil dressing, you create a simple yet sophisticated dish that lets the natural flavours shine. The addition of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper draws out the sweetness of the tomatoes, while the spring onions provide a mild, crisp finish.

As a refreshing vegan side dish, these tomatoes are the perfect accompaniment to grilled sourdough or as a bright addition to a summer spread. This recipe is incredibly quick to assemble, making it an ideal choice for outdoor dining or a light lunch. For the best results, ensure your tomatoes are at room temperature to fully appreciate their rich, summery aroma.
