Fresh concertina tiger tomato salad snack

Fresh take on summer salads.

INGREDIENTS

6 large firm Tiger tomatoes (or any firm red tomatoes)

100g button mushrooms, sliced

60g fresh parmesan shavings

18 fresh basil leaves

3 pickled onions, sliced

6 black olives, pitted and sliced

Vinaigrette:

60ml ( cup) olive oil

45ml (3 tbsp) balsamic vinegar

15ml (1 tbsp) water

5ml (1 tsp) sugar

2.5ml ( tsp) mustard powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

METHOD

Cut a thin slice off each tomato so it will stand upright. Cut 5 slits across the tomato, almost but not completely through. Stuff each slit with a different ingredient - mushrooms, parmesan, basil, onion and olives.

For the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients and shake well. Pour over the tomatoes, ensuring it seeps into all the slits, and serve immediately. Serves 6
