Heirloom Jersey Tomatoes

Whole Foods this week had the most gorgeous selection of heirloom Jersey tomatoes from a local farm. Though they come in odd shapes and irregular colors, they have so much more flavor then regular run of the mill tomatoes, and they look so pretty sliced and plated all together.

I picked up red, orange, yellow, and green tomatoes, sliced them to roughly a 1/4 inch thickness, and arranged them on a bed of arugula tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and pepper. Then I roughly tore up some fresh Jersey mozzarella and gave everything another drizzle of oil and vinegar, and a little more sea salt on the tomatoes. When all your ingredients are this fresh and local, they don't need a lot of help to taste super delicious.

You can serve this up by itself, or toast some bread to soak up all the yummy juices at the bottom of the bowl.
