CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Cherry Tomato Salad image

Recipe video above. This fresh, juicy tomato salad brings together two of the greatest flavour combinations known to mankind - tomato and basil! Make this with cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, or even normal tomatoes cut into chunks.The vinaigrette is slightly thickened with mustard so it clings to the tomato better, and a touch of red onion provides some much needed freshness.

CHERRY TOMATO, WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND BASIL SALAD



Cherry Tomato, White Balsamic Vinegar and Basil Salad image

This salad is really simple (and you can probably substitute whatever vinegar you have, making it even more simple) and delicious. I didn't precisely measure my ingredients, so you can start with smaller quantities and make it 'to taste' if you don't have my sour tooth!

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pints cherry tomatoes
4 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, cut in chiffonade
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Slice tomatoes in half and put into a medium sized bowl.
  • Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, dress with vinegar and oil and toss together.
  • Cut basil leaves into chiffonade (roll leaves together as if making a cigar and run your knife perpendicular through at very thin intervals--the result will be little strips of basil).
  • Sprinkle basil over tomatoes, add pepper, toss and serve.
  • Notes: I thought that the salad tasted the best after a few hours. The downside is that your basil can turn a little dark. I'd still say it is worth letting the salad mascerate for a couple hours--maybe adding basil leaves in an hour before serving.
