I found this chorizo and tomato salad recipe on the BBC Good Food website when searching Google for tomato salads. I had quite a large bowl of tomatoes that were needing to be used and as the sun is shining, I thought it would be good to use them up in a salad. I've adapted the original recipe slightly (see Tips). It's a very quick salad to put together, with minimal cooking required and can easily be made in advance.
A delicious salad to enjoy as a side or snack, to serve at a barbecue or as part of a buffet or picnic selection.
The photos are from when I made it the first time, I was just making it for the 2 of us, so halved the recipe.
Tips
- The original recipe uses 3 ripe beef tomatoes to serve 4 people. I had vine tomatoes to use up so converted the weight to approx. 200g for one beef tomato. Cherry or baby plum tomatoes would also work well.
- Try adding some salad leaves to bulk it up a bit.
- Some crusty bread to soak up the juices would also be good - check out the link to our bread recipes below.
- This chorizo and tomato salad recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
