Tomato and Basil Blossom Salad

The basil I have growing on my balcony began to flower and from what I understand if I allow this to continue the plant will focus its energy on these flowers instead of the leaves, so I removed all of the blossoms. I then tossed them with some fresh tomatoes, a little olive oil as well as some salt and pepper. We enjoyed this salad on grilled bread as a late afternoon snack and of course you could use basil leaves if you do not have access to the flowers.
