Method
- Slice the tomatoes into rounds or bite-size pieces. In a bowl, whisk the olive oil with the red wine vinegar and black pepper. Finely chop the thyme and rosemary leaves, add to a pestle and mortar, then crush with the coarse sea salt.
- Toss half the dressing and half the herb salt through the tomatoes, then leave to marinate for 30 minutes or so.
- Layer the tomatoes and the fresh basil leaves in a serving bowl, drizzling as you go with the rest of the dressing and herb salt. Serve.
