Arrange the basil leaves on the bottom of a wide serving platter to create a bed for the salad.
Carefully slice shanklish balls into halves or quarters.
Artfully place the sliced shanklish pieces over the basil bed.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and distribute them evenly around the shanklish.
Gently scatter the blueberries and raspberries over the salad.
Sprinkle the wild thyme leaves and the thinly sliced spring onions over the assembled salad.
The dressing:
In a mixing bowl, pour the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar.
Crumble the shanklish into the liquid mixture.
Add a small pinch of Salt.
Vigorously whisk the mixture until the dressing is well-combined, slightly emulsified, and the crumbled shanklish is fully incorporated, making a creamy, flavorful vinaigrette.
