Want to know how to make the perfect tomato salad? Here’s how<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve made a video to share all my tips for making the most of my favourite ingredient – the tomato. A tomato salad is such a classic summer side, so let’s make sure you’re making it the best it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years of teaching cooking classes have taught me that there are loads of mistakes people make when using tomatoes – from shopping to storing, chopping to seasoning. So I cover all those areas off in a new video. You\u2019ll also see me making a gorgeous tomato salad and my favourite pan con tomate<\/em> from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 things to remember when using tomatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Buy the right tomatoes and buy them in season<\/strong> – that is summer time in most places. That’s why tomatoes always taste so good when you’re on holiday. If you need tomatoes in the winter, use canned tomatoes.<\/li>
  2. Don’t keep tomatoes in the fridge<\/strong> – keep them in a bowl on the kitchen counter. Read more about why here<\/a>.<\/li>
  3. Season with confidence<\/strong> – tomatoes love salt and red wine vinegar. Try a tomato salad with and without seasoning and see the difference.<\/li>
  4. Cut out the core<\/strong> – the green core of a tomato is nasty, so always cut it out<\/li>
  5. Use a serrated knife<\/strong> – tomatoes’ shiny skin is hard to cut with a straight edge knife. Use a serrated knife and you won’t squash them as you cut them.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s just the headlines, watch this short video and you’ll see me make tomato salad and pan con tomate<\/em> and talk through all these points in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n
