Ingredients

500 grams Cherry tomatoes
100 milliliters Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
0.5 teaspoons Salt
0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a medium-sized serving bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture reduce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss gently to coat.

Step 5

Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter them over the tomatoes.

Step 6

Once the balsamic glaze has cooled slightly but is still pourable, drizzle it generously over the salad.

Step 7

Toss lightly to combine all the flavors, and serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
