Tomato & Orange Salad

Am a very big fan of fruit in salads... orange, tomato and onion is a great combination and is particularly good in the summer with lots of mint.

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes
  • Orange
  • Red Onion
  • Chilli (optional)
  • Mint

Wash & slice your tomatoes

Cut off all the peel from the orange and slice (reserve the juice for the dressing)

Chop your red onion

Lay the slices out on a plate in (effectively) tomato and orange stripes; covered with a sprinkling of chopped red onion and mint

For the dressing, mix a teaspoon of Dijon Mustard with your reserved orange juice, a dash of red wine vinegar and a good glug of olive oil – drizzle this over the salad with some black pepper just before serving

This is good with oily fish (like mackerel), or with a Pilav – and is an excellent salad to go with a curry too
