Ingredients
- 500 g Cherry tomatoes
- 20 g Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp White balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 unit Garlic clove (minced)
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the fresh basil leaves under cold water, pat dry, and gently tear them into smaller pieces or leave them whole for a more rustic presentation. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cherry tomatoes and basil. Gently toss the salad using a spoon or your hands to ensure the dressing coats every piece evenly.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy fresh as a side dish or appetizer.
