Sweet juicy heritage Tomatoes with Fresh Herb Dressing, add crusty bread and enjoy! #tomatoes #salad #herbs #dressing #recipe
The term Heritage Tomatoes refers to varieties of tomatoes whose seeds have been passed down through many generations.  They come in different. shades, shapes and colours and are delicious with a Fresh Herb Dressing.  Fortunately, Heritage tomatoes are now more easily available to buy and are well worth seeking out.
 
Heritage Tomatoes with Fresh Herb Dressing - a perfect summer plate
 
 OXO Good Grips, have a couple of great new kitchen gadgets to make a homemade herb dressing even easier to make.  The new herb mincer in green features stainless steel blades and OXO’s trademark grip to keep hands safe when in use. Ideal for keen cooks who are not confident with their knife skills, the ergonomic handle allows for a smooth rocking action, mincing herbs with ease in all directions without bringing the blade away from your chopping board. The peaked lip cleverly gathers herbs into a neat pile ready to season food. Designed so that it can open partially to wipe the blades free of collected herbs when in use, the mincer also separates completely into two pieces for easy cleaning and is
dishwasher safe.  RRP £12 from John Lewis.


Making a quick dressing is easy with the OXO Good Grips Little Salad Dressing Shaker. The watertight shaker offers a clean, neat and convenient way to mix, serve and store dressings, sauces and marinades. The top unscrews to reveal a wide opening ideal for adding a range of ingredients like oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, onions, and spices. The Shaker is made of a BPA-free, break-resistant and dishwasher safe material. Once ingredients are added, screw the top on and shake to quickly mix dressings with no spills.  I love how the top lever flips back for pouring and forward to seal. You can use the airtight Shaker to store leftover dressing and sauce right inside the fridge.  RRP £10 from Lakeland
