I do not know which cuisine or who came up with the idea of pairing tomatoes with basil, but, as you know, it is an unbeatable combination – raw or cooked. Whether the combination is on pizza, pasta, rice or on thick slices of toasted bread it’s hard to deny the sweet, salty, herby juice that saturates your tongue and makes you crave more of it.
This tomato salad is as tasty as it is good looking. Apart from the flavours, the colours complement each other so well that you will not have trouble serving up this fruit as a vegetable.
The “recipe” couldn’t be easier. However, given that there are few ingredients, and that this is a raw salad, I would strongly suggest that you get the best quality ingredients in terms of freshness.
For the tomatoes, you want to get some nice firm ripe tomatoes free of blemishes and soft spots.
