Method
-
step 1
Slice the tomatoes into thin discs. Slice the onion thinly and break the slices into rings.
-
step 2
Put a little olive oil into a small pan and add the almonds. Toast them gently, stirring from time to time so they are evenly browned. Drain them on kitchen paper and allow to cool a little.
-
step 3
Meanwhile, put a layer of tomatoes in a wide shallow dish. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, then drop a few onion rings over them. Now shake some cinnamon over (just a dusting). Repeat until all the tomatoes and onions have been used up, ending with a layer of cinnamon-sprinkled onions. Season the salad with black pepper.
-
step 4
While the almonds are still warm and soft, crush them using a rolling pin, until they are cracked. Sprinkle the broken almonds over the salad.
-
step 5
For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients, adding 1 tbsp of water. Season well and spoon over the tomatoes. Add some torn basil leaves to serve.
