British Tomato Fortnight kicks off this month, from 21st May to 3rd June. We are often blinded to the fact that British tomatoes are just as delicious as their exotic Mediterranean cousins, and they are abundant at this time of year. What's more, buying British means fewer miles travelled by tasty toms, so it's a massive win for the planet! This tomato, beetroot and watercress salad is bursting with goodness and ready in just 20 minutes- a real life-saver at the end of a busy day!
