GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Heirloom Tomato Salsa:
  • Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and allow to drain.
  • Slice the green olives in half and add to a bowl along with celery, olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Pick the leaves from the basil and slice finely, and add to the olive and celery mix.
  • Mix together and season if necessary (being mindful of the saltiness that the black olives will bring).
  • In a small blender add the black olives and a little oil to purée (make sure all the olives have stones removed first).
  • Cut the tomatoes in various different shapes, halves, wedges, quarters etc.
  • Place the black olive puree on the plate and arrange how you wish.
  • Drizzle over the dressing and enjoy with an ice-cold white wine.
