  A family favourite. Great success as a dinner party starter. I often add some roasted pine nuts to this salad.

  Okay, admittedly I was only cooking for 1, but this only took 15 minutes! I threw the ciabatta and chorizo in together to fry. The bread soaked up loads of flavour from the chorizo but left me with no "pan juices". I got around that by adding a good splash of wine to the pan and finished cooking the tomatoes in that, so I had something to pour over the salad. Result? A seriously fast dish that was really tasty!

  Fantastic taste and so easy to make. I fried my ciabatta croutons after the chorizo in the fat that was left in the pan, which gave them more flavour and a cheerful colour. I also added a red pepper for crunch and another ingredient which I use often these days in salads; raw (yes raw), finally diced courgette!

  Absolutely gorgeous. I used small cubes of chorizo which are more bite-sized than slices. Will be making this again very soon.

  Dinner party guests loved this one. I added 5-6 sliced mushrooms which I added at the same time as the tomatoes. I'd make this one again in a flash!
