What’s better than a fresh tomato salad when they’re ripe and in season? This salad is as simple as can be, with thin slices of heirloom tomatoes, sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, fragrant basil, and chopped and toasted pistachios. Heirloom tomatoes, also known as heritage tomatoes, don’t always look perfect, but they always make up for it in taste! They’re generally larger and less uniform in shape than regular tomatoes, and they come in a variety of colours. Pick heirlooms for any dish where the tomato is the star, like this beautiful and easy summer salad. Inspired by pranasnacks.com
