2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small handful of English parsley - finely chopped

Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour or until needed
Finely shred the basil and mix into the tomato mixture.

Baguette (store bought):

Learned this recipe from a very good chef (Chef Eric Low) who is always willing to share his tips and tricks.  Missed attending his cooking demo class.
