Samphire Salad with Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinegar

If you've never tried a samphire salad then you need to! This vibrant salad is salty from the samphire, juicy and sweet from the tomatoes and acidic from the balsamic vineger. It's a great combination of complementary flavours and delicious with summer fish or chicken dishes. It's even great by itself!
