I first had this salad at a friend’s summer barbecue around almost twenty years ago and I’ve been making it ever since. This is a really simple side salad, where the tomatoes are the star of the show. No fuss or pretentions – just plump red tomatoes neatly sliced with a few snips of spring onions and some balsamic vinegar.
