Valpolicella to wash it down Yum. I put sea salt and white pepper on the tomatoes and leave for a while whilst dishing up, then put olive oil on the salad and tip the tomatoes on top ...................and toss 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I could never see the attraction of putting oil on a salad. Ruins it completely for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don’t believe my parents could afford such stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, olive oil was bought from the chemist in a tiny bottle and put on cotton wool, stuffed into your earhole, for earache !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bruno22rf Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 So many different Oils you can put on salad to lift them - plain Olive Oil is just a start, Olive Oil and decent balsamic vinegar is superb but then lemon juice in oil is also a game changer. Problem is that even budget Olive Oil is expensive nowadays so you might be better off sampling some of the Supermarket Salad dressings before spending decent money on good oil - Aldi used to do a Balsamic Vinegar Salad dressing that was outstanding but the recipe has changed and it is no longer as good - but still worth a try, add a teaspoon of sugar and balsamic vinegar dressing and you're about there.

I'm told you can use good quality rape seed oil. I've not tried in myself (despite having rape seed oil in the house). However, a poor harvest forecast for this year suggests that UK grown (I use Cotswold oil) will be a lot more expensive going forwards.
