Method
This delicious summer salad is a sure winner.
Mix the olive oil, balsamic reduction, garlic, brown sugar and mustard in a glass bowl and stir until blended. Taste and season if necessary.


Place the halved cherry tomatoes in a glass bowl, add the sweet basil leaves and pour over the vinaigrette. Stir through and marinate for at least half an hour or, better still, overnight.

Sprinkle rocket over the salad and serve as an hors d’oeuvre with fresh bread, or serve as a salad. The bread is used to soak up the delicious juices.
