It would be a personal dishonour if I did not write about this classic salad that pretty much sums up Italian cuisine. Its simple, just a few flavours without any fuss and that's what the secret is SHHHUUSH....
Ingredients
Cherry tomatoes on the vine
Mini Mozzarella balls
Balsamic Glaze
Green Pesto
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Handful of fresh basil leafs
Method
Place the vine tomatoes into an oven proof dish and drizzle over a little olive oil along with some salt & pepper to season. Put on a high heat 250c for 5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
The marriage, spread a little green pesto on the plate and place tomatoes on top, scatter around some of the mozzarella. lightly sprinkle with salt, drizzle over some balsamic glaze, then olive oil, scatter fresh basil and then crack over some black pepper. for a zingy finish why not try some lemon zest grated over the top.
