The Best Tomato and Chorizo Salad

This is what Jamie Oliver calls this salad.  I’ve never had another tomato and chorizo to compare this to but this salad was delicious.  I know it was really delicious because Randy completely approved of having only a salad for dinner. Well, with some goat cheese on the side 🙂

This salad is perfect for the summer while the tomatoes are still tasty.  I love Jamie Oliver, he uses simple ingredients and his recipes are always super tasty.

1 raw chorizo sausage roughly sliced (I used Spanish Chorizo from Eastern Market which had a bit of spice- and we used three since this was all we were eating for dinner)
olive oil
3 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
A handful of cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 spring onions finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
sherry vinegar
small bunch of finely chopped parsley
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped

1. Add a good glug of olive oil and the chopped chorizo to a hot fry pan and stir regularly.
2. Whilst the chorizo is cooking, prepare and chop all tomatoes and spring onions and place into a large salad bowl. Season well sea salt and pepper.
3. Drizzle with a little olive oil and a splash of sherry vinegar. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley, mix everything together then put aside.
4. Once the chorizo is nice and crispy, add the chopped garlic to the pan and swirl around until you smell it cooking. Add a splash of vinegar to stop it cooking then spoon the chorizo over the tomatoes. Drizzle some of the lovely tasty oil from the pan over the whole salad. Toss the salad well and serve.
