This elegant vegetarian starter or light lunch celebrates the deep, rich flavours achieved through slow-roasting. By gently confiting cherry tomatoes in olive oil, sugar and thyme, they transform into intensely sweet gems that provide a striking contrast to the fresh, acidic bite of raw tomatoes. The addition of San Simón, a Spanish cow’s milk cheese with a subtly smoky profile, brings a creamy complexity that elevates this salad into something truly special.
Perfect for a sophisticated weekend brunch or as part of a summer sharing spread, this dish is as practical as it is delicious. You can prepare the caramelised tomatoes up to two days in advance, allowing the flavours to develop beautifully. Serve it at room temperature with plenty of crisp baguette toasts to soak up the fragrant sherry vinegar dressing.
