There’s just nothing like fresh tomatoes simply done this way! The taste of the fresh tomatoes is not masked and they tasted like perfection. Thanks so much, Lavender Lynn, for sharing! Made it for FYC.

What is not to love? Fresh tomatoes from the garden, good balsamic soooo summer and so good. The tomatoes on their own are great, I added a bit of basil and some mozzarella to make it a bigger meal. Thanks for posting Lavender Lynn! Made for Culinary Quest 2014
