as a starterEasy
By Adam Byatt
Published 2010
In my opinion, Heirlooms are the most amazing-flavoured and visually appealing tomatoes. They vary in size, texture and shape but benefit from simple preparation, as in this salad. It’s perfect as an accompaniment to grilled meat and fish, or as a starter in its own right.
Cut the tomatoes according to their ripeness: slice the firmest ones and quarter the softer ones; leave whole or halve any that are small and tender.
Remove the stones from the olives. Quickly rinse the capers under the cold tap to remove excess acidity. Peel the onion and slice as finely as possible. Pick the leaves from the basil and tear them.
