Cherry Tomato and Melon Salad with Maple Syrup recipe
Cherry Tomato and Melon Salad with Maple Syrup recipe.
The quality of the produce is key for this lovely dish that lets the natural flavour of the ingredients shine.
Keep an eye out for speciality heritage tomatoes as they will produce extra depth of flavour – and they look terrific too.
The combination of melon, cheese and maple syrup might sound strange but it works really well.
