Chorizo-Tomatoes Salad

I have been wanting to try this salad for a really long time, and even when the ingredients couldn't be more simple I just kept forgetting to make it, but I have to say that it was worth the wait! It is a great combination of simple flavors and chorizo happens to be one of my favorite foods so I knew  I would love it! This is a bit of a ‘throw it all in’ type salad so use the quantities you fancy! It’s basically a combination of ingredients with a vinaigrette dressing, but the flavours combine so well that you can’t go wrong!

Ingredients:

• 1 chorizo sausage in slices
• 3 ripe tomatoes – roughly chopped
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 spring onions or shallot chopped
• salt and pepper to taste
• olive oil 
• sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar) 
• fresh flat-leaved parsley
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 cup Goat cheese crumbled (you can also use feta cheese, it works good too)

Directions:

1. Fry the slice chorizo with olive oil. Stir and leave to crisp.
2. Put the tomatoes into a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper, olive oil and a splash of vinegar.
3. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley, toss together, and leave to the side. 
4. Once the chorizo is getting crispy add you sliced garlic. As soon as you can smell it, and before it burns, remove the pan from the heat and add a splash of vinegar to stop the cooking process. 
5. Spoon the sausage and its oil over the tomatoes.
6. Toss and serve immediately. while the chorizo is still hot.
