I have to write about an ingredient, a rather controversial fruit, I met yesterday at Tesco's called 'Emerald Tomato'.
She looks like an unripenned tomato but has a soft feel to touch. Emerald Tomato is described as sweet and purposefully grown to keep her unripenned look.
I decided to make a simple green inspired salad.

I decided to use the rest of the tomatoes for a warm salad for brunch today.
Ingredients
6 sliced Emerald Tomatoes
A bag of Rocket
1 medium size sliced sweet onions
1 medium size diced Avocado into chunks
Sliced 1 whole Courgettes into disc shapes
225g of Halloumi (Cut into chunks)
100g of cooked Bambara beans (optional)
Marinade
2 tablespoonful of olive oil
Smoky sea salt
2 pinches of freshly toasted ground black pepper
Method
Cut your courgettes into little disc shapes
In a separate bowl mix together the olive oil, salt and black pepper.
Add the courgettes and Halloumi to the marinade
Using a hot griddle pan, grill the courgettes and Halloumi for a
minute on each side.
In a bowl, add the rocket, onions, tomatoes, avocado, courgettes, bambara beans and halloumi. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salad and serve immediately.
