Today's Harvest, Mostly Tomatoes = Heirloom Tomato Salad


Today had a pretty decent harvest and much is close too.  I decided with this nice variety of heirlooms that I should make a fresh tomato salad.  Here's my impromptu recipe:
1 Mountain Pride tomato
2 smaller Early Girl tomatoes
1 Mr. Stripey tomato (see next post for cool pic of this cutie!)
1 Pink Brandywine tomato
1 German Queen tomato
1 Roma tomato
1 Roma Grape tomato
Dice all of those, drizzle with a really good (preferably organic) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Add a handful (nice, precise measurement!) of fresh grated mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh basil (I used Thai and Lemon Basils from the garden - so aromatic!)
and a little fresh ground pepper.
YUMMY!
We had this with Lemon Rosemary Chicken & Rice, Steamed Broccoli and Ciabatta Bread.
