TOMATO SALAD
A small bunch of fresh basil
1 clove of garlic
White wine vinegar
300g (10½oz) mixed cherry tomatoes 
Optional: a small bunch of fresh Greek basil
TOMATO SALAD: Rinse out the liquidiser. Rip the top off the bunch of basil, reserving a few of the smaller leaves, and put into the liquidiser with a pinch of salt and pepper, a peeled clove of garlic, a couple of good glugs of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of white wine vinegar. Whizz until you have a dark green oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Halve or quarter the tomatoes. Pour this dressing over a platter and sit the tomatoes on top. Scatter over some Greek basil leaves or smaller basil leaves and a pinch or two of salt, then take to the table and toss right before serving.
