This straightforward tomato salad is enhanced by a Japanese-style onion dressing. Chilling tomatoes in the fridge robs them of their flavour, so keep them at room temperature, but pair them with a chilled dressing for maximum effect.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mixed cherry tomatoes

  • pinch of sea salt

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives

For the dressing:

  • 1 small onion

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp caster sugar

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Method

  1. For the dressing, puree the onion in a food processor or finely grate. Mix together with the remaining ingredients and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Season with a little salt. Stir the dressing and spoon over the tomatoes. Scatter the chives over the top and serve.
