MIXED TOMATO AND ROCKET SALAD

With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll be delighted with how flavoursome and indulgent this salad tastes.

SERVES 6, AS A SIDE

✣ 2tbsp green tapenade

✣ 3tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

✣ 1tsp red wine vinegar

✣ 400g (14oz) tomatoes; we used a mix of baby and heritage tomatoes, thickly sliced

✣ 90g bag washed rocket

1

For the dressing, put the tapenade, olive oil and red wine vinegar into a small bowl or jam jar and mix or shake together.

2

Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a serving plate and pour the dressing over. Season with sea salt.

3

If taking for a picnic, put the dressed tomatoes into an airtight food container. Transport the rocket in the bag it comes in. Before serving, add the rocket.

If you don’t like olives, swap the tapenade for pesto – or even just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar would work brilliantly.
