Cherry Tomato, White Balsamic Vinegar and Basil Salad

Ingredients:
cherries, sweet, raw
spices, basil, dried
vinegar, balsamic
oil, olive, salad or cooking
salt, table
spices, pepper, black

Directions:
Slice tomatoes in half and put into a medium sized bowl.
Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, dress with vinegar and oil and toss together.
Cut basil leaves into chiffonade (roll leaves together as if making a cigar and run your knife perpendicular through at very thin intervals--the result will be little strips of basil).
Sprinkle basil over tomatoes, add pepper, toss and serve.
Notes: I thought that the salad tasted the best after a few hours.
The downside is that your basil can turn a little dark.
I'd still say it is worth letting the salad mascerate for a couple hours--maybe adding basil leaves in an hour before serving.
