TOMATO AND ONION SALAD
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 lemon, juice
½ tsp sugar
4 tomatoes, sliced
Pinch or two dried chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 Tbsp malt or red wine vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
Method
Squeeze the lemon juice over the onions, add ½ tsp sugar and pinch of salt and let sit for 5 minutes or so.
Arrange the tomatoes on a plate, then scatter over the drained onions.
Mix the chilli and garlic with the vinegar and sugar, then season with salt. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
This can be prepared and chilled up to 1 hour ahead, but dress just before serving
