Super simple tomato salad, if you can make it in advance, as it tastes even nicer after marinating for a couple of hours.
You can use any tomato you have for this - the fresher the better ideally - but I personally prefer it with smaller cherry tomatoes.
Great on a picnic, or as a side dish at a BBQ.

Steps

1

Slice the tomatoes in half, and pop them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with olive oil (this is the time to use the good stuff)
2

Slice the garlic as finely as possible. A little garlic goes a long way, I like using 2 cloves, but some people might find this too much (you can always add more)
3

Chop up your basil nice and fine. Add to the tomatoes with the garlic and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. You can grate your own, but I quite like the pre-grated for this recipe, as it is so fine, it almost starts dissolving into the oil and the tomatoes.

Mix it all together, so everything is combined. Have a little taste to make sure everything is in right ratio. Before serving, give it another mix, and sprinkle over some more parmesan.
