Heirloom Caprese Salad

Heirloom Caprese Salad

I recently picked up some beautiful tomatoes at our local farmer’s market and made this heirloom caprese salad recipe. I drizzled the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with good olive oil, then seasoned them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Right before serving, I drizzled the top of the salad with a good-quality balsamic vinegar. It was not only a beautiful summer salad but absolutely delicious. We all loved it and thought it paired nicely with crispy chicken cutlets and lemon spaghetti with garlic butter asparagus.
