Homegrown or farmstand tomatoes are an August delight in New England—and maybe in other places too—but we wait all year for them here.
My Caprese salad recipe:
Put some extra virgin olive oil on a large plate
Top with heirloom tomato wedges and mozzarella chunks or slices
Sprinkle with Kosher salt, if desired
Drizzle with balsamic glaze
Top with fresh basil

Looks delish!
