Print Tomato, garlic and herb dressing
This is a lovely quick dressing that can also be made with a tin of tomatoes. It's good for pepping up veg dishes from boiled new potatoes to braised greens or salad and can also be scooped over a bowl of grains. Add a handful of fresh, chopped herbs after cooking if you've got them around – basil, parsley and coriander all work well.
Ingredients
- 100 ml olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 4 tomatoes, skinned, deseeded, cored & flesh diced
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tbsp balsamic or sherry vinegar

Method
- Heat 100ml olive oil on a low heat in a pan. Add the garlic and fry for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes for another 1-2 minutes.
