HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD

Summer is all about simple, and you can't get more idiot-proof than this.  The trick is finding tomatoes at their peak of flavor and texture, and eating them as quickly as possible after they've been plucked from the vine.  The longer you wait, the more the sugar, as well as flavor and texture, breaks down. So hurry! The tomato's biological clock is ticking!




Ingredients:

4 awesome heirloom tomatoes (choose a variety for a difference in flavor and color)
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Balsamic

Directions:

Slice the tomatoes about a 1/4 inch thick and arrange on a plate.  Sprinkle with salt and fresh cracked pepper and serve with balsamic and olive oil.  Enjoy the pure, sweet flavor of summer's bounty.
