Yotam Ottolenghis Tomato and Pomegranate Salad

Step 1

Halve or quarter the tomatoes so that they are all roughly the same size, and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Mix the za’atar with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, and set aside.

Step 3

To the bowl with tomatoes, add the pomegranate seeds, sliced pepper and onion, the herbs, lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently mix the salad, then transfer it to a large shallow bowl or serving platter, and dot it with the cheese. Drizzle the za’atar mixture over the salad and serve.
