Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad

Heirloom tomatoes are one of my favorite varieties of tomatoes. They are vibrant, sweet and so unique. This is a perfect summer salad.

Notes

I got my Heirloom Tomatoes from Costco. I also used BelGioioso sliced mozzarella also available at Costco. I used Spice Islands Italian seasoning (found also at Costco) which is Jain friendly. I recommend using high quality extra virgin olive oil. I love the Kirkland Signature brand or Lucini Premium.
