Enjoy the taste of summer with this delicious tomato and cheese salad.
- Place the basil and parsley in a sieve over a heatproof bowl. Fill a separate large bowl with iced water. Pour enough boiling water over the herbs to cover. Stand for 30 seconds. Remove the sieve from the bowl and drain. Transfer to the bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain well. Dry the herbs well with paper towel.
- Place the basil, parsley and oil in a small food processor and process until finely chopped. Line a sieve with a piece of muslin and place over a bowl. Pour in the herb mixture. Set aside for 1 hour to drain. Gather the ends of the muslin together and gently squeeze to release as much oil as possible.
- Arrange the tomato on a platter. Carefully tear the cheese and place it in the centre. Drizzle with herb oil and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. Season.
