This vibrant tomato and blue cheese salad is a masterclass in simple, seasonal eating. By pairing the natural acidity of ripe, juicy tomatoes with a rich and creamy dressing, you create a sophisticated vegetarian side dish that requires minimal effort. It is an excellent way to showcase heritage tomato varieties during the summer months when their flavour is at its peak.

Ideal as a light lunch or a bold accompaniment to grilled vegetables and crusty sourdough bread, this dish relies on the quality of its few ingredients. The addition of fresh chives provides a mild onion note, while plenty of cracked black pepper adds a necessary heat to cut through the savoury blue cheese. It is a quick, healthy, and versatile recipe for any home cook.
