Thai Basil Tomato Salad Recipes

THAI STYLE TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Use a pestle and mortar to roughly pound the salt, garlic, and chilli. Don't worry about a smooth paste. If you don't have a pestle and mortar, smash the garlic and finely mince it; slice the chillies finely.
• Combine the above mixture with the lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar in a medium sized bowl.
• Add the tomatoes, shallot, lemon basil, and coriander. Stir or massage tomatoes with your hands to ensure dressing uniformly coats. Dish up and serve with a pinch or two of salt sprinkled over and glug or two of oil on top. Allow to macerate for 15-30 minutes and serve with jasmine rice or as a salad with any main.
