Instructions: 1. In blender or food processor, combine vinegar, basil, garlic, salt, sugar, cheese, and oil. Whirl or process until smooth and well combined.

Let stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours to blend flavors. Stir well with a whisk or fork before using.

2. Core tomatoes (peel first, if you wish). Slice about 1/2 inch thick.

Arrange in a shallow bowl or on lettuce on individual plates. Grind pepper over tomatoes to taste.

3. Drizzle tomatoes evenly with pesto. Garnish with pine nuts, if you wish.
