This salad is delicious warm as a light dinner, or at room temperature when on a picnic. The beauty of it is that the flavours get better the longer it sits. I like to eat it with some peppery wild rocket leaves, served on the side (keeping it separate stops the leaves wilting on the way to the picnic).
This salad is deliciously rich and generous, with earthy, punchy flavours. I serve it with Greek yoghurt and harissa on the side, or pair it with the Labneh, Dukkah, Salted Cucumber and Radishes, and perhaps a couple of dips.
These are so quick to make, especially if you buy ready-rolled pastry. The recipe makes 4 tartlets, which would serve 2 people if you’re not serving much else. If you’re eating them as part of a larger spread, 1 tart per person will be plenty.
