If you grow your own tomatoes you will love this Tomato and Sweetcorn Bean Salad.
It’s our favourite summer salad and a great way to use up all those cherry tomatoes that are growing abundantly in our polytunnel at this time of the year.
What’s your favourite tomato recipe?
The basis for this recipe are cherry tomatoes, sweet corn and black beans. You can also add chopped pepper, spring onions, parsley (or basil).
For the dressing I use lime or lemon juice, a bit of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. If you let the salad soak for a few hours it’s even better.
Add some cooked quinoa to make it more filling (optional). Enjoy!
You could also make some Vegan Soda Bread to eat with the tomato and sweetcorn bean salad.
