Basil & Tomato Salad

I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don't make this if you can't get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It's not worth doing. And don't use your tomatoes from the fridge.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  tomatoes (don't make this unless your tomatoes are home grown or vine ripened!)
• 1⁄4 cup basil leaves, torn
• 1 -2  tablespoon olive oil (best you can afford)
•  fresh ground black pepper
•  sea salt

Directions

1. Slice the tomatoes horizontally.
2. Arrange on a serving platter.
3. Drizzle with the oil, scatter the basil leaves over and season with the salt and pepper.
4. Enjoy.
