This recipe is so darn simple. It literally only requires a few simple ingredients.

These heirloom tomatoes are perfect for this salad because they are so juicy and filled with so much flavor!

If you are a vegetarian, this recipe is still delicious, just leave out the prosciutto!

Sp gorgeous – you’re right that it’s almost too pretty to eat. ALMOST! I love the addition of salty prosciutto to the classic summer-fresh flavors of caprese salad! So perfect with farm market heirloom tomatoes, but I agree that it’ll be lovely all year long, too. A little bit of summer, any time!
My tomatoes are going crazy in my garden – this was a delicious way to put them to use!
The touch of prosciutto puts this over the top for me! A great light dish for the summer heat (or a great appetizer)!
