As the sun begins to dip lower in the sky and summer yields to the crispness of autumn, there's nothing quite like a vibrant Late-Summer Tomato & Carrot Salad to celebrate the season's finest produce. With an array of mixed ripe tomatoes—plump plum varieties, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fragrant vine tomatoes—this salad bursts with flavor and color, making it not just a dish but a feast for the eyes.
The addition of finely shredded carrots introduces a delightful crunch, while spring onions lend a fresh, sharp bite that perfectly complements the sweet and tangy tomatoes. For a touch of heat, we've sprinkled in a finely chopped red chilli, elevating the overall flavor and giving your taste buds something to dance about. And let's not forget the nutritious pumpkin seeds, which provide a satisfying texture and a healthy boost.
Tossed in a lush dressing of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, this salad is not only quick to prepare—ready in just 15 minutes—but is also bursting with health benefits. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, it’s the ideal dish to serve as a side, an antipasto, or even as a refreshing snack on warm days. Bring your table to life with this fresh and colorful late-summer salad that encapsulates the essence of the season!
