insalata caprese

I cannot wait until the tomatoes in my garden make the transition from unyielding green to beautiful deep red, but in the meantime grocery store ones will have to do. I just know they're going to reach perfection when we go on vacation next week...

This salad is tied for first place all time favorite summertime salad next to a good Greek salad - just chopped up cherry tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil (something that my garden is actually producing, and how) a quick slug of olive oil and a grind each of salt and pepper. Now, how could you improve on that? It's just not possible, people!
