oh, and not to mention that I’ve been growing basil in my windowsill. This recipe really will be perfect for a weekend at the fam’s. Thanks again!

Jamie – homegrown basil, perfect.

I am literally making this for the weekend to take to my parent’s house – looks delicious. I am also a sucker for heirlooms. My only beef with them is that they can be so damned expensive! Seriously, we once spent $7 on ONE from Whole Foods. Of course, after looking at the receipt, we’ll never make that mistake twice (and sadly, it was a bad one) :)

Hi Jamie – Heirloom tomatoes are pricey but so worth it, except when one costs $7 and it’s a bad one. Have you tried shopping for these tomatoes at a farmer’s market? They might be less expensive. I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe.

Wow – what pretty photos!

This post really makes me miss the summer… *sigh*

I look forward to trying your simple (& delicious-sounding) recipe when tomatoes are back in season for me!

Hi JD – This morning my husband and I went to produce shop. Heirloom tomatoes are still going strong here in California, and as beautiful and delicious as they are, I’m finding that I’m not craving them as much. I hope you will enjoy this recipe when tomatoes are back in season in your area.

My hubby made something similar to this for me a few times (we usually added some dashes of balsamic vinegar) and mmm mmm good! Your presentation is beautiful.

Hi Heidi! – Thanks for the compliment. Your version with dashes of balsamic vinegar sounds lovely. Heirloom tomatoes are still selling abundantly here so we are eating them almost everyday! They are so beautiful and so delicious.

Wow, that looks amazing, I love all kind of tomatoes, in a salad or just to bite it like apple, sprinkled with a little bit of salt! Margot Hi Margot - Thank you!

This dish looks so appetizing, I think I could eat the entire platter! Have you found that each heirloom has its own distinctive flavor? I love the striped ones and the dark purple. They are so rich and meaty. Next year I’m going to try growing these myself, as the fresh off the vine have a much more pungent taste.

Hi Marilyn – Yes, I have noticed each colorful heirloom tomato has its own distinctive flavor. Have you tried the greens heirloom tomatoes? At first glance, one would think these aren’t ripe, but they are, and they are delicious.

Ingrid, this looks delicious--veggie carpaccio is one of my favorite new things and the tomatoes are still plentiful here too, so I'll definitely try it out! Hannah - If you are into veggie carpaccio, then you must try this recipe. Thanks for the link to your version of veggie carpaccio. I like the combination of zucchini and cucumbers. Yum!
