The simple things in life are often the best, and this simple salad is like sunshine on a plate!

Use a good tomato that ripened on the vine, as it makes a big difference when it comes to the taste and texture of the tomato.

We used Heirloom Adelaide Tomatoes, but if you can get your hands on some big, juicy ox hearts, that would be amazing too!

Don’t chill your tomatoes in the fridge; eat them at room temperature for the best flavour.
