Tom Kerridge serves up a warm tomato and onion salad with a beef dressing and sourdough croûtons on Tom Kerridge’s Proper Pub Food.

Tom says: “This substantial salad is a British take on the Italian panzanella. Don’t be put off by the beef dripping – the salad’s strong flavours need a dressing with some oomph to stand up to them.”

The ingredients are: 2 red onions, drizzle rapeseed oil, ½ loaf stale sourdough bread, 300g beef dripping, salt and black pepper, 1kg mixed tomatoes, cut into equally sized chunks, 1 strong English onion, thinly sliced, 2 tbsp lemon thyme leaves, 2 tbsp sea salt, 1 bunch spring onions, chopped, white and green parts kept separate, 3 tbsp cabernet sauvignon vinegar, 1 bunch chives, finely chopped and 2 tbsp toasted onion seeds.
