Heirloom Caprese Salad

I recently picked up some beautiful heirloom tomatoes and decided to keep it simple and make a caprese salad with them. I drizzled the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with good olive oil then seasoned with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. I drizzled the top of the salad with balsamic vinegar right before serving. It was not only a beautiful summer salad it was absolutely delicious too. We all loved it and gobbled it up within minutes of setting it on the dinner table. I have a feeling this will be included in our dinner again this week.

Slice tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Layer tomatoes and cheese in a spiral on your serving plate. Drizzle with good olive oil then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Top with small whole basil leaves then drizzle balsamic vinegar right before serving. Enjoy!
