Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you've got a beautiful tomato or two you don't need to do anything clever. Just a few spring onions or herbs - chives, basil or mint - is enough to turn them into a simple but special salad.
There are all sorts of different shaped, sized and even coloured tomatoes now - look out for heritage varieties grown in the UK. I've gone back to using good old Sarson's malt vinegar on tomato salads just like my Gran used to with my Grandad Bill's home-grown ones. It suits a British picnic so much better than balsamico.
300-400g mixed tomatoes
2tbsp finely chopped chives
Sea salt and ground black pepper
Sarson's malt vinegar
Cut the tomatoes into chunks, wedges and halves or leave small ones whole.
When you have reached your destination, mix in the chives and season, then drizzle over the vinegar to taste.
