Heirloom Tomatoes and Cucumber on Fresh Basil Leaves

Summer Basil leaves are plentiful in August in our container garden. I like to make Basil Pesto and Caprese Salads too, but sometimes the best is the most simple  to make. I get my heirloom tomatoes mostly from Harris Teeter .I prepare a bed of fresh basil leaves along the lines of a kaleidoscope and add the tomatoes and cucumbers to follow the same pattern. I season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. I drizzle some balsamic vinaigrette . Yum !The recipe for the vinaigrette has been posted on the blog as an earlier recipe. Enjoy!
