Do you grow your own tomatoes? What’s your favourite tomato recipe?
We like to make Tomato Bean Salad with Quinoa.
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!
