Multicoloured tomato salad

Insalata di pomodori diversi

Tomatoes in all sorts of different colours, shapes and sizes dressed olive oil and thyme flowers make up a nice multicoloured tomato salad.

When tomatoes are available in all sorts of different colours, shapes and sizes, there’s nothing quite as uplifting as a multicoloured tomato salad dressed olive oil and thyme flowers. There are allegedly 7500 tomato varieties grown for various purposes, so there should be something to choose from at the local farmers’ market. Even if the more colourful species can be hard to find. You can also turn the salad into a panzanella by adding onions and bread and a little more work on flavouring, or you can dress up the salad with some fried peppers and pine nuts for greater variety.

Ingredients

500 g green, yellow and red tomatoes
50 ml olive oil
Fresh thyme

Preparation

Wash and chop the tomatoes in bite-sized pieces
Toss in olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme (basil or oregano ) before serving.

    So simple but so yummy, too. That’s what I love about a lot of Italian and Mediterranean dishes. So many people fuss too much over food when all they need to do is concentrate on good ingredients. :)

      So right. And it is easier to find good ingredients when you search among the local produce.
