By substituting boiled potato instead of the Mozzarella and twisted red onion slices instead of the prosciutto, I have a perfect salad for my vegan friends. Thanks so much for sharing your idea.

This looks so fresh and delish. Tomatoes are so flavourful at the moment, this would be the perfect Christmas starter.

  We eat a lot of tomatoes because of the flavour and the incredible variety of tomatoes.
