Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A simple Spanish salad of ripe beef tomatoes with red onion and thyme in a sherry vinegar dressing, topped with warm, crisp fried chorizo.
When tomatoes are at their ripest, this is exactly what to do with them. Beef tomatoes are dressed with sherry vinegar and thyme and left to sit, then topped with chorizo fried until crisp. The pleasure is in the contrast: cool, juicy tomatoes against the hot, smoky sausage and its oil.

Preparation
- Put the tomatoes in a bowl with the onion and thyme, season, then drizzle over the vinegar and oil. Leave the flavours to mingle while you cook the chorizo.
- Fry the chorizo slices in a hot, dry pan until browned on both sides. Serve the tomatoes topped with the fried chorizo and a little of the oil from the pan.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- This stands or falls on the tomatoes, so use the ripest, best ones you can get.
- Dress the tomatoes first and let them sit while the chorizo fries so the flavours come together.
- Fry the chorizo until crisp, then spoon its smoky oil over the tomatoes.
- Bring it to the table straight away so the hot chorizo meets the cool tomatoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Big, ripe beef or vine tomatoes with real flavour. A mix of colours looks lovely if you can find them.
Add crusty bread, a soft-boiled egg, or a handful of leaves to turn it into a light lunch.
Sliced cured chorizo crisps up well. Cooking chorizo gives you more of that smoky oil to drizzle over.
