3/4 lbs. Cherry tomatoes sliced in half
1/8
lb. Chevre frais (fresh goat cheese) sliced (60 grams)
Fresh basil

large leaves sliced
2-3 slices of fresh onion thinly sliced (may add
more to taste)

Method:
Slice the tomatoes in half from the stem down and season with sea salt to taste in a salad bowl.
Place the pine nuts in a paper towel then fold like an envelope. Microwave them for a minute and a half to toast them.
Roll the basil leaves into a cigar shape and slice them finely.
Slice the onion and chevre cheese. Add the cheese, onions and basil to the tomatoes.
