Heirloom Tomato Salad

My husband picked up some delicious heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market this weekend so I decided to make a salad.  It was super easy and really highlighted the beautiful tomatoes.  When ingredients are fresh and tasty you really need to do very little to them to highlight their flavors.  Enjoy!

Heirloom Tomato Salad (adapted from epicurious.com)

2 1/2 - 3 lb. heirloom tomatoes, cut in large bite sized pieces
1 1/2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 T. red wine vinegar
1/2 t. dijon mustard
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/4 c. feta cheese crumbles
1/4 c. basil, sliced

Place tomatoes in a medium bowl and set aside.  In a small container with a tight fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper and shake to combine.  Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes and add the feta cheese and basil.  Toss gently to combine and serve at room temperature.
