Comments:

This dish is all about ingredients. Get fresh heirlooms and go for a variety. You can check out all the varieties at our Types of Heirlooms Page. I have found all of the ones on the list at the Union Square Market. I personally like this dish using diced shallots, zucchini blossoms and basil. I prefer using only a special rich olive oil from Provence (Coudoux) without vinegar although many prefer this dish with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Method

Finely dice the shallots. Coarsely chop the basil and zucchini blossoms. Slice a selection of heirloom tomatoes.

 

Assembly:

Arrange the tomatoes and mozzarella as shown above. Garnish with the zucchini blossoms, shallots and basil. Drizzle either olive oil or vinaigrette over the salad. At the table add a good quality sea salt.
