This classic tomato and fresh mozzarella salad is a mutil-coloured stunner when using ripe heirloom tomatoes (but any fresh tomato will do).

2 large heirloom tomatoes
8 cocktail bocconcini
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic glaze
1 tbsp olive oil
1 to 2 tbsp small Thai basil leaves
1/4 tsp Maldon sea salt

Cut tomatoes crosswise into thick slices. Arrange on a platter along with bocconcini. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and olive oil. Sprinkle with basil and Maldon salt.
