Instructions

  1. Slice the mini cherry heirloom tomatoes in half widthwise and place in a large bowl.

  3. Add the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to the bowl.
  4. Chop the basil, reserving some smaller leaves for garnish.

  6. I always give the salad a stir to get all the juices and dressing up from the bottom before serving.
