Heirloom Tomato Salad


This picture really doesn't do justice to this salad. We had it the other night at Bobbi and Owen's house and I have been thinking about it ever since! It is the perfect meal or side dish for summer when the tomatoes are perfectly ripe. I don't have measurements for anything...you just have to put in how much till it suits you.

Day-old baguette, cut in chunks
Heirloom tomatoes (or any other nice ripe tomatoes)
Basil, chopped
Garlic, minced
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Ricotta Cheese

If the bread is not hard, toast it in a low temperature oven until it is dried and hard. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes into large chunks. Combine tomatoes, basil, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.

When you are ready to serve the salad, toss in the dried bread pieces. Serve with a dollop of Ricotta cheese on top.
