  • 5 medium tomatoes
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves or dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar

  2. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar and thyme with salt and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Put the vegetables in a salad bowl, pour over the dressing and toss well. Don't be shy with the salt; tomatoes love it.
