This is more of a PSA than anything else. Heirloom tomatoes: they're delicious! Fresh basil: it's incredible! Go buy some and let them frolic together on a plate or in a bowl, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with pepper. Yes, I'm basically telling you to make an Insalata Caprese, but wait! There's a twist! Buy cherry tomatoes and those little balls of mozzarella instead of a big hunk of it and then just eat them whole. (There was a vendor at the Union Square Greenmarket who had the sweetest, ripest, most liberally-grown little tomatoes the other week; if I remember their name I'll update this post with it.)
This salad is so magically, wonderfully easy. I put it in tupperware and grabbed a loaf of ciabatta for a no hassle picnic in Prospect Park last weekend. It was pretty fantastic, though a bottle of red wine wouldn't have hurt.
