This salad is a fresh and sweet summer accompaniment to barbecues. A perfect use of seasonal summer ingredients that you can easily grow in your own garden!

Instructions

Method

Slice the tomatoes and strawberries and arrange them on a plate in a flat layer so they soak up the seasoning and dressing evenly.

Rip the basil and place into a pestle and mortar (or food processor) and grind together with the olive oil to create a paste.

Work in the caster sugar, garlic and citrus juices to finish the dressing - adjusting the balance of acidity and sweetness to taste.

Dress the salad with the zesty herb oil and garnish with a handful of small picked basil leaves.

Finish with a generous sprinkling of smoked Cornish Sea Salt flakes.
