Traditional greenback tomatoes are large and slightly flat in shape, ready to eat when they are still green externally with a pink blush at the base. They can be eaten red too but I prefer them green. This light and easy recipe is sure to impress.
Preparation
On a medium sized platter, layer rocket/arugula and greenback tomatoes.
Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste.
To finish, dress with anchovy swirls.
