Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 20 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 10 grams Fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice each tomato in half and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the fresh basil, parsley, and chives. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the parsley and chives. Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces by hand.
Peel the garlic clove and finely mince it or grate it using a microplane.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes in the mixing bowl. Add the chopped herbs to the bowl as well.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until the tomatoes are well coated, and the herbs are evenly dispersed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately or let the salad rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
