The first tomato and basil harvest is always hungrily awaited in our household.
It’s a watershed moment in the calendar when I source the best quality mozzarella cheese I can find and make the simplest of Tricolore salads.
It’s only ripped up basil, sliced tomatoes and mozzarella with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and seasoning. Delicious. Even on a grey and wet August Bank Holiday weekend. Still mustn’t grumble. At least my tomatoes are ripening!
