Heirloom tomatoes

AliceNov2011

If you have never had heirloom tomatoes, please go to your local farmer's market or Whole Foods or Central Market or wherever you get your organics and buy a nice, firm one. Yellow is my favorite. Slice it thick, put a sprinkle of crunchy kosher salt on it, and eat it like an apple. After you stop saying, "OMG, where have you been all my life," dice a beautiful collection of them -- all colors -- into a bowl, sprinkle with salt, chiffonade some fresh basil, and douse the whole thing in balsamic vinegar. Put it in the fridge and eat it as-is or with tuna or in salads or atop fish or on a burger. You will thank me.
