  1. Use the best and freshest tomatoes you can find so this salad can really shine.
  2. Serve the tomatoes at room temperature to maximise on flavour.
  3. If you don't have shop bought balsamic glaze, make your own by bringing balsamic vinegar to the boil then reduce to a gentle simmer until reduced by a 1/3 or a 1/2 depending on desired taste and consistency. Leave to cool before using.
