Instructions: Layer vegetables in a shallow dish. Rectangular containers work well.

Distribute basil into layers. Add enough oil and vinegar to cover vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to blend. This will keep for several days, especially if the tomatoes are nice and firm.
