This is another farmer's market creation. It has two main ingredients, is no cook, and if you don't have a farmer's market can be easily replicated for a great summer side dish. A few optional ingredients can make it even more substantial if you have them lying around the kitchen. Feta or mozzarella would each add a nice element to the salad, though with its zing my vote would go to the feta. A pint of cherry tomatoes will give you 2-3 servings. Larger tomatoes can be used as well, you can choose to cut them into wedges or rounds. For rounds you might simply turn this into a caprese salad with mozzarella and basil.
You will need:
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 handful basil, chopped or roughly torn
Salt
Pepper
Thoroughly wash the tomatoes in a colander, especially if they were a market purchase, to remove any dirt from the skin. Cut the tomatoes in half, removing any that are damaged, and place in a bowl. Add a decent pinch of salt and pepper (taste and adjust as you go, remember you can always add more). Add the basil and stir gently to combine.
