This is my favorite summer time treat (besides ice cream!) Tomatoes fresh off the vine (not ours unfortunately, this year), fresh mozarella cheese, basil and splashes of good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, seasoned to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. The classic Italian Salad Caprese.
It is so simple with such a small number of ingredients yet the finished dish is ever so satisfying. The Italians are very good at putting together recipes like this. I have blogged this salad before
here, but I'm particularly pleased with this version using heirloom tomatoes. I just think they're gorgeous.
That looks so delicious. Summer on a plate. Love the different colored heirloom tomatoes. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh, That's a pretty one! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pics. I, too, wish I could grow tomatoes that perfect.
ReplyDeleteLooks delish, and refreshing ;)
ReplyDeleteI have three beautiful heirloom tomatoes, just waiting to become this very salad. What a lovely salad!
