Tomato Salad sent in by Fiona from Lowry Bay
Vine ripened tomatoes, sliced or halved
Balsamic vinegar
1 dessertspoon of brown sugar
Olivo Orange infused olive oil
Mix the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and orange olive oil together. Pour over the tomatoes and bake slowly in a moderate oven until the tomatoes have broken down. Cool, place on a bed of salad and drizzle the juices from the baking dish over. For an extra orange taste, drizzle a little more orange oil over. Delicious.
