Marinated Heirloom Tomatoes with Buffalo Mozzarella

This has got to be one of the easiest recipes to throw together. You need few ingredients and the longer you let it sit, the yummier it becomes so it’s a perfect make ahead lunch or side dish.

Ideally you would use heirloom tomatoes, the taste really does make a difference. But if you don’t have access to them, regular off the vine tomatoes will do. The key is in the herbs. Use whatever combination you enjoy. For this recipe, I mixed together basil, parsley, dill, mint and thyme… that’s a whole lot of herby goodness!

Grab your fresh herbs, because this recipe is worth gossiping about!
