Refreshing on hot days - and delightfully simple to make when feeling sluggish in the heat - this is a salad perfect for outside eating near a bottle of very cold white, with condensation running down the side.

Ingredients

  • 6 large ripe vine tomatoes
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 fat garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • <

Method

Cut the green stalk out of each tomato, then score the base with a small cross and place in a large bowl. Submerge them in just-boiled water and leave to stand for 30 seconds before lifting out. Slip the skins off the tomatoes, then cut them into quarters. Scoop out the seeds into a sieve over the bowl you intend to put the salad in and press the juice through into the bowl. Discard the seeds.
