Squashed cherry tomato & smashed olive salad

Name: Squashed cherry tomato & smashed olive salad
Ingredients: tomatoes; olives; red wine vinegar or herb vinegar; basil or rocket

Not Too Tricky

About the recipe

This is probably the quickest salad I make, but no less tasty for that. Very few ingredients, simple flavours, complete sense. Try to make use of the wider range of cherry tomatoes available now: yellow, tiger and plum for instance. And, trust me, it’s much better, tastewise, to buy olives with their stones still in than without.
