Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Cherry tomatoes
- 150 g Chorizo sausage
- 1 small Red onion
- 10 g Fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in halves. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the red onion and finely slice it into thin rings. Add it to the tomatoes.
Rinse the fresh parsley, pat it dry, and roughly chop it. Set aside for garnishing.
Peel and mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, whisk the minced garlic with the olive oil and red wine vinegar to create a simple dressing. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix well.
Slice the chorizo sausage into thin rounds. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy and slightly browned. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes and onions. Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Top the salad with the crispy chorizo slices and sprinkle over the chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
