Gnarley, multicolored and misshapen - but delicious, Heirloom tomatoes are becoming available in many shops and at least for now are the real McCoy. Not the industrialized tomato so many of us have come to hate. So take advantage of them while you still can, and make the classic tomato and mozzarella salad with basil and balsamic. At least for now.
2 lbs fresh ripe tomatoes, ideally varied heirloom, sliced8 fresh basil leaves
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese
2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Assemble the ingredients, alternating in layers. Sprinkle oil and vinegar on top.
