Heirloom Tomato Salad

Jul 9, 2009



A simple summer tomato salad. If you can't find heirloom tomatoes, you can use garden tomatoes instead. I bought these beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market and used a good extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil from my garden. This is my husbands recipe and it's my favorite ways to eat tomatoes. Serve this as a side dish or for lunch with a nice crusty bread.
