Caprese Salad with Cherokee Purple Tomatoes

This time of year, I'm eating more simple foods and turning on the stove less and less. Those fresh tomatoes are a big part of my diet during the summer months and Caprese salad is one of my favorites. This tomato salad is a very simple, back to basics salad, with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil, drizzled with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The flavors are intensely summer and so good!

My dad has been growing tomatoes my entire life, so when I was asked to try out a new to me variety of heirloom tomatoes, I said sure, why not. Seeds of Change contacted me and asked me to come up with a recipe for their tomatoes and the Caprese salad was a natural fit.
