This is definition of freshness, with its sweet and sour late-summer flavours. It is also an utter delight to look at. But the most incredible thing about it is that it uses a few ingredients that we've been lovingly cooking with for many years, and believed we knew everything there was to know about, yet had never thought of mixing them in such a way. That is until Yotam travelled to Istanbul and came across a similar combination of fresh tomatoes and pomegranate seeds in a famous local kebab restaurant called Hamdi, right by the Spice Bazaar. Use four types of tomato here to make the salad more interesting visually and in flavour. You can easily use fewer, just as long as they are ripe and sweet.
