Lay the tomatoes on their sides and slice into 6 to 8 even slices and set aside. Reserve the ends for another recipe.
Wash and spin dry the basil leaves, stack together going the same way, trim the stems off, roll tightly and make medium slices width wise to create ribbons, set aside.
Zest the lemon and juice the lemon and reserve.
Wash well and spin dry the sprouts, set aside.
On your serving platter, arrange the sprouts to make a bed.
Stack the tomato slices on top of each other to create a rainbow in their colors (like shown in the picture) into 4 even stacks on the sprout bed.
Evenly drizzle the lemon juice on top of the stacks and the basil ribbons on the top.
Now sprinkle evenly with the lemon zest. Serve and ENJOY!
