Rebellion tomato pesto caprese salad
The combination of sweet, acidic tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and fresh basil is nothing new, but striking Rebellion tomatoes add a new dimension to this dish: when sliced, they look like flowers. Using pesto means you can make this salad even when fresh basil isn’t in season, plus it adds welcome flavour and texture additions from the nuts.
Ingredients
- 2-3 Rebellion tomatoes
- I small red onion
- 2 mozzarella balls
- 2 tbsp green pesto
- A good glug of top quality olive oil
