Tomato Salad Recipe

Tomato salads seem to evoke hot summer days but are generally delicious at all times of year full of freshness, although the tomatoes themselves tend to be fuller of flavour in their season and if you grown your own there’s nothing like the intensity of the aroma and flavour than one picked from your garden or window box.

Slice the tomatoes and place into a shallow salad bowl. Roughly chop the basil leaves (or tear with fingers) and place on top of the tomatoes.
