Tomatoes are now coming into season and what better way to eat them with a simple tomato salad with a tomato dressing? Tomatoes are best enjoyed picked fresh from the plant when they are still warm and sun drenched. In the summer Ed and I eat bowls of ripe cherry tomatoes like sweets, there are far worse snacking habits to have, and we enjoy them as much as we can during the season.

If you can possibly avoid it, never put tomatoes in the fridge, it will rob them of both their flavour and fragrance. and even when they are back to room temperature it never fully returns.

One of my favourite ways to eat tomatoes (part from snacking on cherry tomatoes), is in a sandwich – thin slices of well buttered white bread, sliced tomatoes and a sprinkling of salt. Perfection, but not terribly transportable, or suitable to prep ahead. My second choice is this tomato salad, with a rich tomato dressing, which is suitable for picnics and packed lunches. Slice the tomatoes and prepare the dressing a few hours in advance, and then mix when you are read to eat. Serve it alongside a quiche. Use as many different types of tomatoes as you can, variety is the spice of life after all!
