Insalata caprese with heirloom tomatoes and homemade mozzarella
Yesterday I had a day I’d been dreaming about for awhile. It was warm out. We were up early. We walked down to the farmers market. I made a point of really taking my time. We got heirloom tomatoes, basil, cherries, white apricots, fava beans, and cucumbers. That night I made fresh mozzarella. We ate it with the tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. I have been looking forward to heirloom tomatoes ever since I made my first mozzarella at home. I could make insalata caprese every weekend that tomatoes are in season.
