A Tomato Chorizo Salad to Die For - Jo-Ann Carson

A Tomato Chorizo Salad to Die For

This is a Friday #fingerfood post (sort of).

Okay, I know salad technically isn’t a finger food unless you are a cave man. I’m adding it to my finger food collection, however, because it goes so well with a table laden with an assortment of appetizers.

The key to this recipe is the combination of the spicy chorizo and sherry vinegar, an idea I picked up from Jamie Oliver.

My Recipe (made for two)

Ingredients

3 chorizo sausages

enough tomatoes (your choice of type) for two – I used 3 field tomatoes

2 green onions

1 small handful of small basil leaves

1-2 garlic cloves

a salad dressing made of 2 tblsp. olive oil and 3 tblsp sherry vinegar (or to taste)

salt and pepper

Method:

  1. slice and fry the chorizo in oil until nicely browned and crispy
  2. slice and fry the garlic in the left-over oil until fragrant
  3. cut the tomatoes bite-size, add basil and green onion
  4. add the dressing, salt and pepper to taste
  5. add the chorizo and garlic and mix.

The salad turned out better than I expected. It was amazing. I’m hooked on sherry vinegar.

Enjoy your weekend.
