Italian Tomato Salad

Course Salad
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 6 basil leaves, chopped (I added a little extra on top, as garnish)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups (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.
