Ingredients

Salad

  • 5 heirloom tomatoes mixed colours
  • 1 banana shallot small
  • 4 cherry tomatoes

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • sea salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons spring onion chopped

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes and arrange them on a platter. Season well with sea salt and pepper.
  • Halve the shallot. Thinly slice one half (you’ll need about seven slices) and dice the other half.
  • Sprinkle the diced shallot on top of the tomatoes.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes into a V-shape along the middle section. Pull the halves apart to make flowers.
  • Remove the center of the shallot slices and place the rings on top of the salad. Fill the rings with the cherry tomato roses to make them more stable.
  • Mix olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and pepper for the dressing, then drizzle it over the salad.
  • Top with breadcrumbs and spring onions.
  • Serve.
