6basil leaves, chopped (I added a little extra on top, as garnish)
1 1/2tablespoonsbalsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 1/2tablespoonsolive oil
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/8teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
3cups(520 grams) halved cherry tomatoes or the same amount of another type of tomato, chopped into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
Mix everything but the tomatoes together in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and stir to coat them in the liquid.
Chill for 20 minutes before serving. Don't chill too long or the flavors will be muted.
If you want to prepare this salad in advance, prepare the tomatoes and refrigerate them in a covered bowl. Prepare the dressing in a different bowl and set that aside. Combine 20-30 minutes before serving.
