What Is the Portuguese Tomato Salad?
This refreshing salad brings together a mix of juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumber and tangy pickled onions. The trio of tomatoes — semi-dried, sweet baby and salad tomatoes — gives it layers of flavour and texture.
It’s lightly dressed, naturally sweet, and offers a fresh, cooling contrast to Nando’s spicy mains.
