25+ Tomato Salads Everyone Must Try!
Heirloom, cherry, beefsteaks, truss tomatoes…. Where do we start and must we ever stop? Sweet and juicy, they are the savoury fruit for our sides. Tomato salads will always be a staple and we’ll show you some exciting ways to serve them up.
Nothing quite beats a trip down to the farmers market and you’re completely spoilt for choice. Colourful heirloom tomatoes in deep purple or a medley of cherry tomatoes in gold, orange and crimson red, all crying out for you to take home and create delicious salads.
We also love those plump vine ripened tomatoes, the oblong shaped roma tomatoes or a traditional beefsteak. How you prepare them is what makes these tomato salads so much fun!
Mostly eaten as they are, you can slice them, cut them in wedges or simply pop the whole thing in your mouth. They are sweet and juicy while their colours just brighten up the dinner table.
You can also cook them. Applying heat to tomatoes sweetens them and nothing quite like soft, warm tomatoes. Blister them quickly on a skillet or even bake them slowly in the oven.
Tomatoes will always be a popular ingredient in salads as you can find them all year round and you can eat them as they are. Its affordability and ease of preparation will add to its appeal.
