Heirloom-Tomato & Garden-Herb Salad
This simple, beautiful recipe comes from Rose Willett of Fiddlehead Farm on Martha’s Vineyard. For maximum effect, she favors a mix of heirloom and other long-established tomatoes, such as ‘Lemon Boy’, ‘Marglobe’, ‘Green Zebra’, and ‘Cherokee Purple’. Note that if you can’t find sorrel, you may substitute additional arugula or some baby spinach.
