Basil & Tomato Salad

Description: 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.

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

Steps:

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.
