Ingredients

2 bunches salad onions , trimmed
270g pack mixed small tomatoes , halved
50g bag watercress
1 salad onion , steeped in vinegar
2 tsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
good pinch of golden caster sugar

Steps:

Heat a non-stick frying pan until very hot. Cut the salad onions in half lengthways and cook for about 2½ mins each side, cut-side first, until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Cook the tomatoes, cut-side down, for 30 secs-1 min until just softened and caramelised, then set aside with the onions.
To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a jar with some seasoning and shake well. When ready to serve, pile the watercress, onions and tomatoes onto a platter. Give the dressing a quick shake, then drizzle it all over the salad.
