Simple Summery Tomato Salad

Summer is well and truly here! (Yay!)

To make the most of those summer vibes, this simple tomato salad is best enjoyed outside in the sun.

Tahini and tomatoes are an unexpectedly good combination.

Smooth, light tahini would be perfect (Belazu is a good suggestion) and, the better the tomatoes, the better this will taste.

Prep 15 min
Marinate 40 min
Serves 4 as a starter

350g mixed ripe tomatoes
1 tsp flaked sea salt
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 grind black pepper
1 generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
1 handful chopped parsley leaves
1 small bunch basil leaves, torn, plus extra to serve
80g smooth tahini
4 tbsp capers, drained

Chop the tomatoes, and toss in a colander with the salt and vinegar.

Put the colander on top of a plate or bowl and leave to marinate for as long as you have, and at least 10 minutes.

Drain, then season with freshly ground black pepper, the oil and herbs.

Leave to marinate again for 30 minutes, then plate up and spoon over generous dollops of the tahini and capers.
