  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more for serving

  2. Thinly slice the basil (roll the leaves and then thinly slice them).
  3. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and rest at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before serving. Transfer to a platter with a slotted spoon. Add sea salt to taste before serving.
