  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 100ml olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon or splash of sherry vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Serves 4
  • 4 large ripe beef tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • Small bunch mint, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 100ml olive oil

  • Small bunch mint, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 100ml olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon or splash of sherry vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

Slice the tomatoes into rounds, and lay the slices out on a platter and sprinkle with salt. This will cause the tomatoes to release their own juices, which you then drain off and whisk together with the other ingredients.

Season to taste, remembering that there will be residual salt on the tomatoes, and pour the dressing over the tomatoes before serving.
