  • 3 yellow tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 3 orange tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • Several small vine-ripened tomatoes
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves

Slice the tomatoes into wedges; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
