Vietnamese-style tomato salad recipe

Recipe
A tomato salad is a summer classic for good reason. This fiery Vietnamese salad recipe amps up the flavour with a hot, sour and citrussy dressing and crunchy peanuts, and lots of fresh mint and coriander. Serve with barbecued chicken or steak for a next-level hot-weather dinner. We’ve suggested using our Isle of Wight tomatoes, but when they’re not in season, any variety of ripe, colourful tomatoes will work. Skip the chillies if you don’t like it too spicy.

step 1
Toast the roasted peanuts (30 g) in a dry pan over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden. Remove from the pan, roughly chop and set aside.
step 2
Add the chilli (1/2) to a small bowl with the sugar (1 tsp), juice and zest of the lime (1) and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
step 3
Remove the core from the fennel (1), reserving the fronds, and thinly slice. Add to a large bowl with half of the nuoc cham (30 ml) and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 5 minutes.
step 4
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cucumbers (150 g), marble tomatoes (100 g), summer selection tomatoes (200 g), tiger tomatoes (3), coriander (5 g) and mint (5 g) (reserve a few to garnish) and add to the bowl with the fennel. Drizzle over the remaining nuoc cham (30 ml). Set aside for 5 minutes to macerate.
step 5
Place onto a platter, then drizzle over the lime-pickled chillies and the juice from the bowl. Scatter with the peanuts, the top that seasoning (1 tbsp), and the reserved fennel fronds and fresh herbs.
