Method
- Place the onion in a small bowl and pour over enough freshly boiled water to cover. Leave for a minute, then drain and rinse in cold water. Lay the sliced tomatoes on a platter and scatter over the blanched onion, roasted peppers, caperberries and olives. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, season well and set aside.

I try to make this salad every Summer if we have friends/family round for a BBQ, it’s delicious. I’m making it tomorrow for a lunchtime treat when a friend pops round. Can’t wait.
I love this recipe because it’s so simple, vibrant and fresh and yet wholesome and satisfying.
