AWESOME! I was able to find cherry size herilooms in all different colors at Trader Joes. So fresh and so delicious. Used my thicky, sweet aged balsamic vinegar. I added 2 green onions which was a great addition. Such a treat. Made for June Photo Challenge.

This tastes very good and looks nice. I am sure that it would be super with heirloom tomatoes. I did add 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Thanks for sharing, Heirloom. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game.
