It’s a testament to the idea that simple, high-quality ingredients need little embellishment to create something extraordinary.

For an extra herbaceous note, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh mint alongside the basil. And while grilled bread is listed as optional, it’s a wonderful accompaniment for soaking up the delicious juices.

Serve this fresh and simple salad immediately to enjoy the ingredients at their peak. It’s a versatile dish that makes a fantastic light lunch, an elegant side for dinner, or a crowd-pleasing party appetizer that will surely impress your guests.
