Roast tomato, crushed potato and pesto salad

September 25, 2021 / Niki / No Comments

Sometimes simple is best. This combination is certainly that – crispy crushed potatoes (always always good). juicy bursting oozy tomatoes, with fresh and vibrant pesto sauce.

But its the little extra toppings which really enhance this simple warm salad – olives, lots of fresh herbs; dill and basil, extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of toasted seeds for crunch.

This makes a wonderful summer or autumnal dish – especially when eaten outside with a glass of wine – oh yes!

I also love to char some bread, top with the pesto and then squish on any leftover tomatoes and olives as you can see below.

I hope you enjoy, much love, Niki xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.
