Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Slice 1 lemon into thin rounds and spread out on the baking tray, drizzle over 1/2 tbsp oil and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 20-25 mins until shrivelled and caramelised in places. Keep an eye on them - you may have to take some out the oven before the others are done. These can be made in the morning and kept at room temperature.
- While the lemons are cooking, roughly chop the tomatoes and thinly slice the fennel, saving the fronds. Put in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, juice from the other lemon and pomegranate seeds. Season to taste, then give everything a good mix.
- When you're ready to serve, roughly chop all the herbs and mix them into the salad along with the roasted lemons and fennel fronds.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: To add more flavor and texture to your salad, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help the tomatoes absorb the flavors of the dressing more easily.
- Use fresh fennel: Fennel has a unique, anise-like flavor that pairs well with tomatoes. Be sure to use fresh fennel, as dried fennel will not have the same flavor.
- Add a variety of herbs: Herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme will add freshness and flavor to your salad. You can also use a pre-made Italian herb blend.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Season the dressing to taste: Taste the dressing before you add it to the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
This tomato, fennel, and watercress salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet tomatoes, crisp fennel, peppery watercress, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this delicious salad at home.
