Ingredients

• 400 g Cherry tomatoes
• 150 g Chorizo sausage
• 1 small Red onion
• 10 g Fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in halves. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the red onion and finely slice it into thin rings. Add it to the tomatoes.

Step 3

Rinse the fresh parsley, pat it dry, and roughly chop it. Set aside for garnishing.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, whisk the minced garlic with the olive oil and red wine vinegar to create a simple dressing. Add the salt and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 5

Slice the chorizo sausage into thin rounds. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes per side, or until crispy and slightly browned. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes and onions. Toss the salad gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.

Step 7

Top the salad with the crispy chorizo slices and sprinkle over the chopped parsley for a fresh finish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
