Heritage tomato salad with tapenade

This recipe places a very seasonal ingredient centre stage, and lets the flavours shine – it’s perfect on a warm summer’s day with a glass of chilled rosé – a wonderful celebration of summer’s tomatoes.

Ingredients

Serves 4 - 6

500g heritage tomatoes, at room temperature
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
½ shallot, finely diced
salt and black pepper

For the tapenade

70g green olives, pitted (55g pitted weight)
½ tbsp capers, rinsed
2 anchovy fillets
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
3 tbsp chopped parsley
2 sprigs of thyme, leaves picked
zest and juice of ½ lemon
4 tbsp olive oil

Put all the ingredients for the tapenade into a food processor or blender and blitz until it reaches a coarse paste. Season to taste with pepper.

Slice the tomatoes, varying the way they are cut – cut some in slices and some in wedges.

Put the tomatoes on a serving dish and drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle over the shallot, season with salt and gently fold together. Drizzle over the tapenade and serve.
