Tomato & coriander salad
Meliz Berg looks forward to eating this whenever she visits her Auntie Meyrem in Cyprus. The combination of perfectly ripe tomatoes, the zesty tang of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a favourite Cypriot salad herb – coriander – is simple yet unbeatable for summer eating.

Ingredients
- 450g pack classic vine tomatoes
- 1 large continental salad onion, very thinly sliced
- 2 x 25g packs coriander, stalks and leaves finely chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 lemon, juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 Flatbreads, to serve (optional)
Method
Core each tomato, then cut into 1cm chunks. Tip into a shallow salad bowl or lipped platter. Add the salad onion and coriander, sprinkle over the sea salt flakes, drizzle over the lemon juice and oil, then gently toss everything together. Serve straight away, with flatbreads, if liked, to scoop up all the juices.
And to drink...
If you fancy a summery rosé, M de Minuty Provence Rosé, France, is aromatic and zesty.
