Tomato salad recipes
While tomatoes are available all year in the UK, the British season runs from June to about October (there’s even a British Tomato Fortnight!) – and that’s when you’ll find the widest variety, from sweet cherry tomatoes to green zebras.
You can make a super-hearty salad with them, whether as a side dish or as the main event, and they’re always a colourful addition to the summer dinner table.
