Wash the Salad (some lovely spinach, rocket and lettuce leaves would be great)
Wash and quarter a few Tomatoes
Slice a Red Onion
Drain (or if they’re salted, wash) and dry a tablespoon of Capers
Lay the Salad leaves out, with the sliced Tomato, Onion and drained Capers on top
Make the Herby Dressing… Crush a clove of Garlic. Add the juice of half a Lemon to the bowl and a big drizzle of Olive Oil. Now add a big teaspoon of Dijon Mustard and a crunch of Pepper. Whisk or stir, and taste. You might prefer more Lemon or more Oil (but bear in mind that dressings will always taste stronger when they’re not actually on a salad; so it is good to keep some punch here, flavour wise…). Lastly, stir in a handful of finely chopped fresh Herbs… Basil, Parsley, Chives – they’d all taste good here
Dress the Tomato & Caper Salad just before eating – and enjoy with a dollop of Homemade Mayonnaise if you have some…
