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.
