Our Favourite Summer Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes

flour & steel: heirloom tomato salad recipe

Taylor and I have been loving the sun and spending as much time as possible soaking up whatever rays are left after work. This sometimes means eating dinner at 9pm when the sun finally decides to start setting. We'll make a snack and hang out for a couple hours before coming back in to start working on the next meal. We're like cows-- grazing at every opportunity possible! ;)

Our favourite snack this season is this heirloom tomato salad with feta cheese. It's super cooling and so easy to make!

Ingredients - makes 2 servings

2 heirloom tomatoes (contrasting colours are perfect!)
1 English cucumber
salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup feta cheese

Serve as is, or add a side of your favourite crusty bread (we are in love with the baguettes from Pike Place market) with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip!
